The parent of a child who has pinworms is asking an MA for more information about his child's condition. The assistant should begin by explaining that pinworms are which of the following types of microorganisms?

  1. Helminths

  2. Fungi

  3. Protozoa

  4. Bacteria

The correct answer is: Helminths

Pinworms are classified as helminths, also known as worm-like parasitic organisms. They fall under the category of helminthic infections, which are extensive areas of dicrocoeliasis and diarmitiasis. Both fungi and bacteria are considered microorganisms, but they are not classified as helminths. Protozoa are also single-celled microorganisms and are not classified as helminths. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it correctly classifies pinworms as helminths.
