Solution
The correct option is C Hyperparasitism
A hyperparasite is a parasite whose host, often an insect, is also a parasite, often specifically a parasitoid. The most common examples are insects that lay their eggs inside or near parasitoid larvae, which are themselves parasitizing the tissues of a host, again usually an insect larva.
So, the correct answer is 'Hyperparasitism'.
