Commensalism is a relationship in which one species is benefitted and the other is neither benefitted nor harmed.

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Commensalism is a type of population interaction where one species benefits while the other remains unaffected (neither harmed nor benefited). This is represented as $(+, 0)$ interaction. Option $A$ correctly describes this. Option $B$ is incorrect because parasites can be ectoparasites (living outside). Option $C$ is incorrect because competition involves negative effects on both species $(-, -)$. Option $D$ is incorrect because mutualism involves benefits to both species $(+, +)$.

Effects on Organism $1$	Effects on Organism $2$ (Benefit,Harm,No Effect)
Benefit	Mutualism,Predation,$B$
Harm	$A$,Competition,Amensalism
No Effect	Commensalism,$C$,$-$

$A. +/+$	$I. \text{Predation}$
$B. -/-$	$II. \text{Ammensalism}$
$C. +/-$	$III. \text{Competition}$
$D. -/0$	$IV. \text{Mutualism}$
