Ecological Interactions Interaction Effects A. Interspecific Interaction 1. Interaction between different species B. Mutualism 2. One species benefits and the other is harmed C. Parasitism 3. One species benefits while the other is unaffected D. Amensalism 4. Both species benefit from the interaction
Options
- AA - 2, B - 3, C - 4, D - 1
- BA - 3, B - 1, C - 4, D - 2
- CA - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1

Correct answer
D. A - 1, B - 4, C - 2, D - 3
