Question

choose the correct answer. other than nutrition, what other benefit does a parasite gain from its host species? a harsh environment a safe living space greater competition higher disease rates

Explanation:

Parasites live on or in their hosts. Hosts provide a relatively stable and protected environment for parasites. A harsh environment (first option) is not a benefit. Greater competition (third option) is a negative, not a benefit. Higher disease rates (fourth option) are not a direct benefit that parasites gain from hosts. A safe living space (second option) aligns with the typical relationship where the host offers a place for the parasite to reside away from external threats.

Answer:

B. a safe living space
