4. Termites
5. Wasps

Parasitoid species are found in how many of the above kind of organisms?

(a). Only two

(b). Only three

(c). Only four

(d). All five

 

Explanation:

Parasitoid species are indeed found in flies, some beetles (like carabid beetles), and wasps.

Centipedes and termites do not typically have parasitoid species.

●     Centipedes are predators themselves, typically hunting and consuming other invertebrates.

●     Termites are primarily detritivores, feeding on dead plant matter.

The correct answer is: (b)
