Question #3
Which of the following is an example of a mutualistic symbiosis?
A. Tapeworm in human gut
B. Lichen (algae and fungus)
C. Mosquito sucking blood
D. Barnacles on whale skin

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lichens are a mutualistic association between an alga (or cyanobacterium) and a fungus. The alga photosynthesizes, providing food; the fungus provides shelter, water, and minerals. Both benefit. Tapeworm is parasitism, barnacles on whales commensalism (or sometimes parasitism depending on effect), mosquito blood-sucking is parasitism.
