Explanation

A parasite lives in or on a host and gains resources or another benefit from it. The host is harmed by the relationship, but parasites do not usually kill their hosts; keeping a host alive often helps the parasite survive and reproduce. Therefore, the accurate statements are that parasites can live in or on their hosts, parasites benefit from their hosts, and hosts are harmed by parasites.
