Solution

The correct option is A
one species is harmed and other benefits

Predation is when an organism (predator) kills another organism (prey) for food. In predation the predator benefits from the relation, while the prey is harmed. The other interactions between species are competition- where both the organisms are harmed; parasitism- where one organism benefits while the other is harmed; commensalism- where one organism benefits while the other is unaffected; ammensalism- where one organism is harmed while the other is unaffected and mutualsim- where both the organisms benefit.
