Answer: Commensalism

Step-by-step explanation:

Commensalism is a long term biological interaction in which the members of one species gets benefit by the members of another species while the other species does not gets harm or benefit.

Example: Tiny microscopic mites live at the base of the eyelash eats the dead skin cells and human beings do not feel this as they are not affected by them.

Hence, the correct answer is Commensalism
