Correct Answer:

Option A – parasitism

Explanation

Cows are not immune to ticks and thanks to their hairy hides, ticks love to attack herds of cattle. Feeding off their host’s blood supply, ticks spend their lives on animals of all kinds, including cows. Ticks can even transmit potentially fatal diseases to cows through their bites.

The cattle tick is considered to be the most important parasite of livestock worldwide
