Solution
The correct option is A Mutualism In the first graph, both species A and B when lived together have almost the same growth and that too in an increasing manner while in the second graph, when both species got separated their growth declines. So this is the case of mutualism. Mutualism is a relationship between two or more individuals of different species in which all are benefitted by one another.
Proto-cooperation is the relationship between two species, which is favorable but not obligatory to both.
Parasitism is an interaction between two individuals, where the parasite gets the benefit at the expense of the host.
Predation is basically eating of one species by another means one species gets eliminated by another but here in both graphs either their growth increases simultaneously or gets reduced.
