Question

which statement best describes the overall outcome for the host that is harmed in a parasitic relationship? the host only benefits if the parasite is inside the host. it is usually a negative interaction for the host. the host is typically neutral. the host always benefits from the relationship.

Explanation:

In a parasitic relationship, the parasite benefits at the expense of the host. So the host does not benefit (eliminating options about host benefiting) and is not neutral. The interaction is negative for the host as the parasite takes resources or causes harm.

Answer:

It is usually a negative interaction for the host.
