Answer:

A. Consumer

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is consumer but the more appropriate one is parasite.

Parasite: One organism (parasite) is acquired, and the other (host) is suffering. Tick is a parasite. It attaches to the warm-blooded animal and feeds on its blood. At every stage of the life cycle, ticks need blood. They also have Lyme disease, a disease that can cause joint damage, heart disease and kidney problems. Ticks benefit from eating animal blood. Unfortunately, the animal suffers from blood and nutrient loss and may become ill.
