Solution
The correct option is A Symbiosis The presence of flagellated protozoans in the gut of termites are the example of symbiosis. Symbiosis refers to a close, long-term interaction between two different species where both partners are mutually benefited from each other. Termites are dependent on protozoa for breaking down their food stuff and the protozoa are dependent on the termites as host organisms.
