C
a habitat
D

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pollination is the process by which whole pollen grains are transported to flowers of the same species for the purpose of sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -In social colonies, many bees live in the same nest and each female plays a distinct role. Workers gather pollen and nectar for the colony, defend the colony against intruders, and cannot reproduce. The queen produces offspring, but doesn’t forage or leave the colony.

Detailed explanation-4: -Competition & Predation. Commensalism. Parasitism. Mutualism. Amensalism.
