Explanation by: Admin

Commensalism is a type of relationship in which one organism benefits while the other remains unaffected (neither harmed nor benefited).

  • (A) Symbiosis – A broad term that includes various relationships like mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
  • (B) Mutualism – Both organisms benefit from the relationship (e.g., bees and flowers).
  • (D) Parasitism – One organism benefits while the other is harmed (e.g., ticks on dogs).

An example of commensalism is barnacles on whales—barnacles get a place to live and filter food from the water, but the whale is not affected.
