The correct answer is:
B

The female wasp enters the fig inflorescence to lay eggs. In the process, female pollinates the fig flowers. The larvae develop inside the fig's ovary and get nutrition and protection. The fig benefits by being pollinated, while the wasp benefits by getting a safe site and food for its larvae. This is a mutualistic interaction.
