Which process influences survival when parasitic wasp larvae pupate inside a caterpillar host?

💡 Explanation

When wasp larvae pupate inside a caterpillar, the wasp induce host immune suppression via injected factors, allowing the wasp to complete development without immune response from the host. Therefore wasp survival depends on immune suppression, rather than detoxification, competition, or camouflage which would enhance the caterpillar's survival or are based on other parasitic mechanisms.
