The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Parasitism is an association in which one organism (the parasite) lives on (eetoparasitism) or in (endoparasitism) the body of another (the host), from which it obtains its nutrients. They also produce vast numbers of eggs there e.g., head louse living on the human scalp.

Charge on each sphere is \(q\) and the force of repulsion between them is \(F\). A third identical uncharged conducting sphere C is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with sphere B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (Radius of A and B are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:
