An organism's fitness can be best measured by observing its NUMBER OF OFFSPRING. Healthy and fit organisms tend to give birth to large number of offspring in a sequential manner while less fit animals do not produce much young ones and the birth of their offspring is often far in-between .
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).
