Solution
The correct option is D Golden Jackal-Tiger
Commensalism is a long-term biological interaction in which members of one species gain benefits while those of the other species neither benefit nor are harmed. The jackal relies on the tiger for food. The tiger remains unaffected by the Jackal. Since it is a much larger predator, it kills larger prey. So the golden jackal follows behind the tiger and eats the leftovers from their kill. They Interact in the northern part of Africa and southern Asia.
So, the correct answer is 'Golden Jackal-Tiger'.
