Solution
The correct option is D Commensalism
- Commensalism is an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm. For example, The relationship between cattle egrets and cattle, Orchids Growing on Branches of Trees, sea anemones and clownfish, Remora Fish and Sharks.
- Remora fish have a disk on their heads that makes them able to attach to larger animals, such as sharks, mantas, and whales. When the larger animal feeds, the remora detaches itself to eat the extra food. In this interaction, remora fish is benefited and there is no harm caused to sharks. Hence commensalism.
- Hence An interaction between two individuals where one is benefited while the other is neither benefited nor harmed is called Commensalism.
- So, the correct answer is 'Commensalism'.
