Vedclass · Answer

(A) Commensalism is a type of population interaction represented as $(+, 0)$,where one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited.In the interaction between the sea anemone and the clown fish,the clown fish lives among the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone.The clown fish gets protection from predators because predators avoid the stinging tentacles of the anemone.The sea anemone does not appear to derive any significant benefit from the presence of the clown fish.Therefore,both the Assertion and the Reason are correct,and the Reason correctly explains why this interaction is classified as commensalism.
