Solution

The correct option is B Commensalism
Remora is also called as the sharksucker or suckerfish and is any of the eight species of marine fishes noted for attaching themselves to the sharks. Remoras adhere by means of a flat, oval sucking disk on the top of the head. The relationship between a Remora and its host is considered to be commensalism, as Remora is getting its food and shark gets no benefit.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
