The answer is B. I believe that this is the answer because the barnacle is benefiting from the gray whale without harming, or affecting it in the process.

Answer:

A.Honey bees feed on the pollen of cornflowers and help the flowers reproduce.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The process of the commensalism is when the bees collect their pollen from the cornflowers and there helping them to reproduce, as this process creates positive results and does not disturb or destroy or in any sense is negative to the species of the flora and the fauna, and both the bees and the flowers equally benefits for this also known as as a symbiotic relationship.
