Question

which symbiotic interaction involves one animal eating another? mutualism commensalism predation competition

Explanation:

• Mutualism: Both species benefit, no eating involved.
• Commensalism: One benefits, other unaffected, no eating.
• Predation: One organism (predator) eats another (prey).
• Competition: Organisms compete for resources, no eating.

So the correct option is the one where one animal eats another, which is predation.

Answer:

C. predation (assuming the options are labeled A to D with A: mutualism, B: commensalism, C: predation, D: competition. If the original options have different labels, adjust accordingly, but the content is "predation".)
