Parasites benefit their hosts is the true statement. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism (the parasite) benefits from another organism and this other organism is harmed by the parasite.
The others aren't true because:
- the organism that is harmed doesn'y adapt and evolve it still is vulnerable
- it is a fact that parasites change from hosts
- phoresy is an association between two species in which one transports the other. This does not include killing the host (is possible, but it is not a condition under which you can call something a phoresy).

Answer: Parasitism causes both the parasite and host to adapt and evolve.

Explanation:

A parasitism is a kind of symbiotic relationship in which two species lives in close association. In this association one species is benefited by harming the other species so as to derive nourishment and shelter. The species which causes harm is called as the parasite the species which is being harmed is called as host.

In parasitism the parasitic as well as the host species evolve together. The parasite is adapted to live in the host body in adverse conditions too. Also the host is adapted to get rid from the parasite and attain a protection from the parasitic damage. Some host build symbiotic mutualistic association with other species to get rid from parasites. The Ladybugs live on the plants, eating the aphids and benefiting by obtaining food, on the other hand the plants are getting rid of aphids (parasites).

Santos and Lüderitz are the same distance from the equator, and both cities
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The difference in altitude between these two regions.

Explanation:

As you can see in the question above, Lüderitz and Santos are two regions that are the same distance from the equator, which indicates that the two regions have the same latitude and are in tropical zones. In addition, the two regions are close to the ocean, but the air in Lüderitz is cooler.

This indicates that there is a difference in altitude in these regions and Lüderitz has a higher altitude than Santos, which is why Lüderitz's air is colder and Santos's is hotter.

Altitude is a geographic term that represents the distance of a region in relation to the level of the sea. The higher the altitude, the greater the distance.

The higher the altitude of a region, the colder its air will be. This is because in high altitude regions, air is thin and has a small capacity to retain heat.
