Question

multiple - choice question
the butterfly and the flower is an example of which type of symbiosis?
commensalism
parasitism
mutualism

Explanation:

In mutualism, both organisms benefit. Butterflies get nectar from flowers for food, and in return, they help flowers with pollination as they move from one flower to another. Commensalism is when one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. Parasitism is when one organism (parasite) benefits at the expense of the other (host). The butterfly - flower relationship is beneficial to both, so it's mutualism.

Answer:

C. Mutualism
