The correct answer is A, Giardia intestinalis. Ascaris and Enterobius are nematodes.
Entamoeba are protozoa, but Entamoeba
infections occur less frequently than Giardia
infections in
the United States, occurring mainly in immigrants from countries where
Entamoeba infections are endemic or in travelers that have been in these
countries. Giardia is a widely distributed parasite
occurring in all climates and countries. Giardia remains
one of the main causes of diarrheal outbreaks associated with
drinking water in the U.S.
