Solution

The correct option is D Amensalism
  • Amensalism is the type of interaction in which one of the species is inhibited or destroyed by the other species and other species remain unaffected. This type of interaction involves the production of antibiotics which will inhibit or kill the other species in the association.
  • These types of interactions are commonly used in medical science for the commercial production of antibiotics.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
