Correct Answer: Brood parasitism


Solution : The correct answer is Brood parasitism .

A reproductive strategy known as brood parasitism involves laying one's eggs (the parasite) inside the nest of another (the host). Whether the host is of the same species as the parasite or not, the parasite must feed and care for her young. Fish, insects, and birds all use this tactic. The brood parasite uses egg mimicry, using eggs that resemble the host's, to control a host, either of the same species or of a different species, to raise its young as if it were its own.
