The answer is B. Hookworms consuming blood from inside an animal's intestine.

Parasitism is a type of relation between species where a parasite benefits at the expense of the host. In this example, hookworms benefit at the expense of the host. They consume blood from inside an animal's intestine and can harm the host. Therefore, this is the example of parasitism.
