Answer:
A-Two organisms live together and neither is harmed.
Explanation:
Parasitism, relationship between two species of plants or animals in which one benefits at the expense of the other sometimes without killing the host organism. Intracellular parasites such as bacteria or viruses often rely on a third organism, known as the carrier, or vector, to transmit them to the host.
Example:
Helminthes (worms) in the intestines of the host,and the lice in the human head.
