Answer» The correct choice is (d) Epi-PARASITE To explain I would say: A relationship in which one parasite feeds on ANOTHER parasite which in turn feed on its host is called epi-parasite. These are also known as secondary or hyper PARASITES. An example is a bacterium in an insect’s gut that feeds on CATTLE.
