Vedclass · Answer

(D) $Mutualism$ is a biological interaction where both interacting species benefit from the relationship.In $Lichens$,algae and fungi live in a mutually beneficial association.In $Mycorrhiza$,fungi and roots of higher plants show a mutualistic relationship.Pollination involves a mutualistic interaction between plants and animals,where plants get pollinated and animals get food (nectar/pollen).However,the association between cattle egrets and grazing cattle is an example of $Commensalism$,not $Mutualism$. In this interaction,the egret benefits by finding insects disturbed by the cattle,while the cattle are neither benefited nor harmed.
