Answer:

The correct answer is - If a parasite kills its host, it will then have to find a new host in order to survive.

Explanation:

Parasites are organisms that depend on other organisms for their food and energy in order to survive. The organism that they depend on is called their host. In this only parasites get benefitted while hosts are harmed.

Although parasites harm their hosts, parasites tend to not kill the host as its best for them so they do not have to find another host and again establish control on the host's body and body functions, for their survival.
