Answer: A.The ant is the predator, while the cicada is the prey.

Explanation:

A predator is a living being which kill other organisms so as to obtain it's own food. A prey is an organism which is weak and inferior over predator and killed by it.

According to the given situation, it is already mentioned that a group of ants attack a cicada, feed on it and kill it. This is a predatory response shown by the ants over the cicada. The response cannot be parasitic because the ants are not causing any disease to cicada, the ants are killing the cicada so as to obtain it as food like every predator do.
