Solution

The correct options are
C

commensalism


D

symbiosis


Association between Sea Anomone and Hermit crab in a gastropod shell is mutually beneficial to both the organisms. Such a mutually beneficial relationship is called mutualism or symbiosis. The sea anemone provides protection for the crab, and being mobile gives the Anemone access to more food and crumbs from what the crab eats.
