Detailed Explanation
In mutualism, both species benefit from the interaction (Column-I a matches with Column-II ii). Commensalism is where one species benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed (Column-I b matches with Column-II iii). Amensalism involves one species being harmed while the other is unaffected (Column-I c matches with Column-II i), and parasitism is characterized by one species benefiting at the expense of another (Column-I d matches with Column-II iv).
