Option D. When a parasite lives in the body of the host then it is referred to as ectoparasitism. Here the host-parasite relationship remains non-mutual. Cuscuta is a stem parasite that wraps around the host plants and remains attached to them. It is an example of ectoparasitism and in this type of parasitism the dependent organism or the parasite is dependent on the host for its food.
