IV. Neutralism is where neither population affects the other.
The correct option is B III and IV only
A mutualistic relationship is when two organisms of different species benefit from each other in the relationship. Commensalism is an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm. Predation is a direct food relation between two species of animals, in which one animal (the predator) captures and feeds on another (the prey). Neutralism is where neither population affects the other.
