Solution

The correct answer is "Cuscuta, lice, tapeworm".

Here's why:

  1. Cuscuta, lice, and tapeworms are all organisms that do not have their own means of producing food. They rely on their hosts for nutrition.

  2. Cuscuta (also known as dodder) is a type of parasitic plant that wraps around other plants and absorbs nutrients and water from them.

  3. Lice and tapeworms are parasites that live on or inside other organisms (their hosts) and benefit by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.

  4. In all these cases, food material is broken down outside the body of the organism and then absorbed.

So, the answer is "Cuscuta, lice, tapeworm".
