Explanation:

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit. In option C, the bee benefits by getting nectar for food, and the flower benefits as the bee helps in pollination. Option A is parasitism (tick benefits, deer is harmed), option B is predation (coyote preys on rabbit), and option D is competition (parent tree out - competes seedling tree for sunlight).
