Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Mutualism involves interactions where both species benefit, such as plants and pollinators. Commensalism is where one species benefits without affecting the other, as seen with orchids and mango trees. Interference competition reduces fitness due to another species' presence, while brood parasitism involves one species benefiting at the cost of another's reproductive success.
