Question #3
The process by which two different organisms live together and both benefit is:
A. Amensalism
B. Mutualism
C. Commensalism
D. Parasitism

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Mutualism is a symbiotic interaction where both species benefit (+/+). Examples: Rhizobium-legume association, lichens, mycorrhizae, and oxpecker-rhino. Parasitism benefits one at the expense of the other (+/-), commensalism benefits one without affecting the other (+/0), amensalism harms one without benefit to the other (-/0). Mutualism is crucial for ecosystem functioning.
