Vedclass · Answer

(C) Commensalism is an interaction between two species where one species benefits and the other remains unaffected (neither harmed nor benefited).In the case of cattle egrets and grazing cattle,the egret benefits because the cattle,while grazing,stir up and flush out insects from the vegetation that might otherwise be difficult for the egrets to find and catch.The cattle are not significantly affected by the presence of the egrets,making this a classic example of commensalism.
