Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
(A) Ectoparasite — this matches (IV) Lice on human. Ectoparasites feed on the outside surface of the host; lice live on the human body and suck blood.
(B) Brood parasite — this matches (I) Cuckoo. The cuckoo lays its eggs in the nest of its host (the crow) and lets the host incubate them; its eggs look like the host’s eggs.
(C) Trematode parasite — this matches (II) Human liver fluke. This flatworm lives inside the liver and needs two intermediate hosts, a snail and a fish, to complete its life cycle.
(D) Malarial parasite — this matches (III) Mosquito. Plasmodium needs the female Anopheles mosquito as a host and vector: it multiplies there and is passed to humans by its bite.
