Which of the following represents a mutualistic relationship?
A
bee/flower
B
mosquito/horse
C
spider/fly
D
wasp/ant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When they land in a flower, the bees get some pollen on their hairy bodies, and when they land in the next flower, some of the pollen from the first one rubs off, pollinating* the plant. This benefits the plants. In this mutualistic relationship, the bees get to eat, and the flowering plants get to reproduce. 3.

Detailed explanation-2: -If we were in the warm waters of the Pacific or Indian Oceans, we’d likely spot an excellent example of mutualism: the relationship between clownfish and sea anemones. In a mutualistic relationship, both species benefit. Sea anemones live attached to the surface of coral reefs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is (C) +/+. Mutualism is a type of symbiosis in which both species benefit from the relationship.
