Answer 1

Mutualism

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutualism is defined as a concept where two organisms help each other in many ways especially to survive in the form of interdependence.

It is the interaction between any two species or organisms which results in positive effects on survival.

For example, the oxpecker and the impala forms a symbiotic relationship of mutualism. Here, the oxpecker etas the ticks from the fur of the impala. Thus the impala gets rid off ticks and other insects form its body and the red billed oxpecker gets its food from the impala. Hence they share a mutualism interdependence on each other.
