View answer & explanationHide answer & explanation
Correct answer
Amaltas : Tree
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: The first word is an organism that lives in or on another organism (the second word) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.
Here,
Virus : Parasite → A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism (the host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.
Similarly,
Amaltas : Tree → Amaltas (a type of flowering plant) lives on a tree (the host) and benefits from it.
Hence, the correct answer is "Amaltas : Tree".
