Answer:

A. ants attack animals that try to feed on the acacia tree and the ants feed on the nectar of the tree

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutualism benefits both organisms in a scenario. In this case, the ants attack animals trying to eat away the tree, while feeding on the nectar of the tree. The ants are provided with food while the tree is provided with protection.
