Answer:

b. The assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect.

Explanation:

It is true that most parasites do not spend any amount of energy to kill a host, so we can say that in relation to the sentence shown in the question above, the assertion is correct.

However, the mucus that lines the fish's body does not offer any protection against attack by parasites, in this case, we can say that the reason given for the assertion is incorrect.
