Which term describes a plant's or animal's ability to resist pest attacks?

A) Hostility.
B) Resistant host syndrome.
C) Pesticide resistance.
D) Host Resistance.

The correct answer is: D) Host Resistance.

The term that describes a plant's or animal's ability to resist pest attacks is Host Resistance (Option D). Host resistance refers to the natural ability of certain plants or animals to withstand or defend against pests without the need for external intervention such as pesticides. This innate defense mechanism can help reduce the impact of pests and minimize the need for pesticide applications. In contrast, the other options are not correct: - Option A, Hostility, does not accurately describe the ability of a plant or animal to resist pest attacks. - Option B, Resistant host syndrome, is not a commonly used term in the context of pest resistance. - Option C, Pesticide resistance, refers to the ability of pests to withstand the effects of pesticides rather than the ability of a host to resist pest attacks.
