Solution
The correct option is B B and C are correct
Clownfish is also called as anemone fish as they form a symbiotic mutual relationship with sea anemones. The sea anemone protects the anemonefish from predators, as well as providing food through the scraps left from the anemone's meals and occasional dead anemone tentacles, and functions as a safe nest site. In return, the anemonefish defends the anemone from its predators and parasites. The anemone also picks up nutrients from the anemonefish's excrement.
