The correct answer is: An organism containing an endosymbiont is engulfed by another organism and becomes an endosymbiont.

Primary endosymbiosis - process in which a eukaryotic cell engulfs another living prokaryotic cell

Secondary endosymbiosis - process in which eukaryotic cell engulfs another eukaryote cell that has already undergone primary endosymbiosis.
