jacks
dropdown with options: benefits, not affected, harmed

Explanation:

In commensalism, one species benefits and the other is not affected. Jacks (like remoras) often follow sharks (silvertip shark here) to get food scraps or protection, so jacks benefit. The shark is typically not affected (not harmed, not getting a direct benefit in this commensal relationship for the shark itself in most cases, but the jack benefits). So for jacks, the correct option is "Benefits".

Answer:

Jacks: Benefits
