Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the context of ecological interactions, predation is defined as a relationship where one species benefits at the expense of another (a-iii). Commensalism is where one species benefits while the other is neither harmed nor benefited (b-i). Mutualism involves interactions where both species benefit (c-ii), and competition refers to the process where species vie for resources, influencing each other's fitness (d-iv).
