D

Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Mutualism involves relationships where both species benefit, such as pollination and seed dispersal. Commensalism is exemplified by the interaction of cattle egrets with grazing cattle, where one benefits without harming the other. Predation involves a predator reducing the prey population, and competition can lead to a decrease in species fitness when different species are present.
