### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organism**: Ascaris, scientifically known as Ascaris lumbricoides, is a type of roundworm that belongs to the phylum Aschelminthes. It is a parasitic organism that primarily resides in the human intestine. 2. **Understand Its Feeding Mechanism**: As a parasite, Ascaris derives its nutrients from the host's body. It primarily feeds on the nutrients that are present in the host's intestine. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1**: Decaying organic matter - This is not correct as Ascaris does not feed on decaying matter. - **Option 2**: Broken down tissues of host intestine - While it is a parasite, Ascaris does not specifically feed on broken down tissues. - **Option 3**: Undigested residues of host intestine - Ascaris does not primarily feed on undigested residues. - **Option 4**: Blood, fully and partially digested food - This option is correct as Ascaris feeds on blood and the partially digested food present in the host's intestine. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer is that the food of Ascaris consists of blood and fully and partially digested food. ### Final Answer: The food of Ascaris consists of blood and fully and partially digested food. ---
