Answer: mutualism

Explanation: animals pollinating flowers is an example of a mutualistic relationship since both the flower and pollinator benefit from one an other. In the plant-pollinator relationship, Flowers provide the pollinator with nectar and pollen, which the pollinators then collect for feeding; and the pollinators provide flowers with the means to reproduce, by spreading pollen from flower to flower.
