Solution

The correct option is C Commensalism
Parasitism is the mode of association in which one organism is benefited and another one is harmed. So one organism is benefited at the cost of another.
Symbiosis means when 2 organisms mutually benefit each other and are interdependent on each other.
In predation, a predator preys on another organism.
in commensalism, one organism is benefited and the other one is unaffected.
So, option C " Commensalism" is the correct option.
