Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

In this interaction, the clown fish gets protection from predators by living among the sea anemone’s tentacles, while the anemone is neither significantly harmed nor benefited—an example of commensalism.

(For comparison: lichens and mycorrhizae are mutualism; lice on humans is parasitism.)
