Question

Identify the incorrect statement:

• A. Both the species are benefitted in mutualism
• B. Both species are not benefitted in parasitism
• C. Both species get harm in competition
• D. One species is benefitted and the other is neither benefitted nor harmed in commensalism

Hint:

It's important to accurately define ecological relationships to understand ecosystem dynamics and species interactions correctly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Clarifying ecological relationships. Mutualism describes interactions where both species benefit. In parasitism, one species benefits at the cost of the other, which is harmed (not unbenefitted as implied). Competition generally results in harm to both species due to resource scarcity, and commensalism benefits one without affecting the other. 
Therefore, the statement about parasitism is incorrect as it mischaracterizes the relationship.
