Share Answer

A. Cows are never the secondary host of tapeworms. Cows are usually the primary host of tapeworms such as Taenia saginata, which can infect humans as the secondary host if they ingest undercooked beef containing the tapeworm's larvae. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Fish can be a secondary host for some tapeworms, pigs can be hosts for tapeworms such as Taenia solium, and humans can also be secondary hosts for some tapeworms.

Correct option: A
