Solution

The correct option is

B. Symbiosis

The symbiotic relationship in which one species profits, while the other species are not affected. In simple words, one partner profits, and no harm is done to the other.

Parasitism is a relationship where one organism uses another organism as a host, thus obtaining food, protection, and other resources from the host. This relationship is beneficial to the parasite but harmful to the host.

Amensalism is a relationship where one organism is harmed by the relationship, while the other is unaffected.

Symbiosis is the phenomenon by which two organisms maintain a relationship with each other to be mutually benefitted.The symbiotic relationship between an anemone (Heteractis magnifica) and a clownfish (Amphiron ocellaris) is a classic example of two organisms benefiting the other; the anemone provides the clownfish with protection and shelter, while the clownfish provides the anemone nutrients in the form of waste
