Question

An interaction between two individuals where one is benefitted while the other is neither benefitted nor harmed is called as

• A. Predation
• B. Symbiosis
• C. Scavenging
• D. Commensalism
• E. Parasitism

Answer 1

The correct option is D Commensalism

In ecology, commensalism is a class of relationships between two organisms where one organism benefits from the other without affecting it. This is in contrast with mutualism, in which both organisms get benefits from each other, amensalism, where one is harmed, while the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one benefits while the other is harmed.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
