Solution

To answer the question, we need to understand the terms provided:

  1. Host: A general term for an organism that harbors a parasite.
  2. Primary Host: Often used interchangeably with definitive host, but can sometimes refer to the main host in a specific context.
  3. Definitive Host: The host in which the parasite reaches maturity and, if applicable, reproduces sexually.
  4. Intermediate Host: The host in which the parasite undergoes asexual reproduction or development.

Given the definition of "Intermediate Host" as the host in which the parasite undergoes asexual reproduction, the correct answer is:

INTERMEDIATE HOST
