Coevolution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Acacia ants have coevolved with acacia plants to provide the plant with protection from other insect and plant species. In return, the acacia plant provides the ant and its larvae with nutrients and shelter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many cases of coevolution can be found between plants and insects. For example, plants and their pollinators are so reliant on one another and their relationships are sometimes so exclusive that biologists have good reason to think that “matches” between the two are the result of a coevolutionary process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The evolution of the extinct “cheetah-like animal” to become fast and the pronghorn’s response of increasing their speed is an example of coevolution. Coevolution describes cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.
