Solution

The correct option is D Golden Jackal- Tiger
In commensalism, one organism benefits from the relationship while the other species involved neither benefits nor is harmed. The tiger can sometimes have an unknown companion in their group, the golden jackal. When the golden jackal somehow is left out of his pack they will follow around a tiger, to find food. The tiger doesn't know about the jackal due to physical appearance, this is an example of a commensalism.
