Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

• Host-specific parasites and hosts co-evolve because both continuously adapt to each other.

• Parasites can reduce host population density by causing disease, weakening the host, or increasing mortality.

• Parasites generally have reduced sense organs and a simplified digestive system, as they depend on the host for food and protection.
