Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Since a community comprises all the species that occur at a particular location, one of the most important things about communities is how the species interact with one another. Four different types of interactions between different species (inter specific interactions) have been identified: Competition -Two organisms mutually harm one Another Predator-prey or parasite-host- One organism benefits, the other is harmed Mutualism- Both organisms benefit Commensalism- One organism benefits, the other is not affected
