Answer:

Hi,

The correct answer option is B; A tapeworm latches itself in the intestines of a rat, feeding off all the nutrients eaten by the rat

Step-by-step explanation:

In parasitism, one of the organism, the parasite lives in or on the other organism namely the host causing it harm and sometimes death.For example a tick that lives on dogs is a parasite.In this answer choice, the rat is the host whereas the tapeworm is the parasite.

Best of Luck!
