Vedclass · Answer

(D) Predation is a biological interaction where one organism (the predator) kills and eats another organism (the prey). Key characteristics of predation include: $1$. Predators are 'prudent' because they do not over-exploit their prey,which would lead to the extinction of the prey and subsequently the predator. $2$. Predation acts as a conduit for energy transfer across trophic levels. $3$. Predators help maintain prey populations at an optimal level within an ecosystem. $4$. Predation is essential for maintaining species diversity in a community by reducing the intensity of competition among competing prey species. Therefore,the statement that predation 'does not maintain species diversity in an ecosystem' is incorrect,as it is a key function of predation.

List-$I$ (Interacting species)	List-$II$ (Name of interaction)
$A$. $A$ Leopard and a Lion in a forest/grassland	$I$. Competition
$B$. $A$ Cuckoo laying egg in a Crow's nest	$II$. Brood parasitism
$C$. Fungi and root of a higher plant in Mycorrhizae	$III$. Mutualism
$D$. $A$ cattle egret and a Cattle in a field	$IV$. Commensalism
