Solution

The correct option is B Snail
Schistosoma is a genus of trematodes which are commonly known as blood flukes. The life cycle of schistosomes is characterized by two hosts. Humans as definitive hosts where the parasite undergoes sexual reproduction and snails as intermediate hosts where a series of asexual reproductive takes place. So the correct answer is 'snail'.
