The clown fish's association with sea anemones is an example of a symbiotic relationship, in which two species live in close proximity and benefit from each other. In this case, the clown fish is able to lay its eggs near the sea anemone, where they are protected from predators by the stinging cells of the anemone. This provides a safe environment for the clown fish eggs to develop, increasing the chances of survival and reproductive success.

The answer is A.
