Solution

The correct option is B Commensalism
In competition, the organisms compete for the same resources and both are negatively affected. Commensalism is beneficial to one organism and is neither beneficial nor harmful to the other. In predation, the predator eats the prey and this is beneficial to the predator and harmful to the prey. Mutualism is beneficial to both the organisms involved.
