The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Life Cycle of Common Round Worm**: - The common round worm, scientifically known as Ascaris, has a complex life cycle that includes several stages of development. 2. **Identifying the Stages of Moulting**: - In the life cycle of Ascaris, the larvae undergo a series of moults (also known as molts). Moulting is a process where the organism sheds its outer layer to grow. 3. **First Moulting**: - The first moult occurs in the soil when the larvae develop from the shelled eggs. This is the initial stage of development. 4. **Second and Third Moulting**: - The second and third moults occur in a specific location within the host. According to the information, these moults take place in the **alveoli of the lungs**. 5. **Final Moulting**: - The final moult occurs in the intestine of the host, where the larvae mature into adult worms. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the information gathered, the second and third moults of the common round worm occur in the alveoli of the lungs. ### Answer: The second and third moults of the common round worm occur in the **alveoli of the lungs**. ---
