The correct answer is B. Honeybee pollinates a flower while gathering nectar.

Mutualism is an interspecific interaction between two species in which both the species are benefited from the interaction. Honeybee visits flower to collect nectar for its food. In the process of collecting nectar, pollen grains stuck to its body. Flower gets pollinated when hone bee visits another flower. Thus, both honeybee and plants get benefit from this interaction.
