Answer:
B. Sea stars are the prey of seagulls
Explanation:
Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).
Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism
Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey. For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)
Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite. Think of a dog with a tick. The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.
Incorrect answers (and why):
A. Sea stars do not eat seagulls
C. If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls. They do not.
D. A host is an organism that a parasite preys on. Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.

Wind water and ice roads and shape the land. Volcanic activity and earthquakes alter the landscape in a dramatic and often violent manner. And on a much longer time scale, the movement of earths plates slowly reconfigures oceans and continents. Each one of these processes plays a role in the Arctic and Antarctica.
