Answer 2

Commensalism.

Step-by-step explanation:

A symbiosis represents a relationship between two different organisms which benefits one or both of the partners. There are three types of animal symbiosis:

1. mutualism - where both partners profit from the union
2. commensalism - one organism benefits from the partnership while the other is left with neither good nor bad consequences
3. parasitism - the parasite gets the better of the relationship while the host is harmed.

An example of a symbiosis barnacles create where they are the only ones that benefit while other animals are left unharmed is called commensalism.
