    The correct answer is A) A host is killed slowly by its predator while a prey is killed instantly.

    Prey-predator is a non-specific relationship between individuals of different populations. In this relationship prey is killed outright. Example, a tiger kills a deer. But in parasite-host relationship is specific. Example, mosquitoes feed on human blood. The parasitism differs from predation in that the host are seldom killed instantly but may live on for some times.
