Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The mutual benefit illustrated when a bee collects nectar from a flower and, in turn, transfers pollen grains is identified as mutualism. Mutualism represents the mutual benefit between two organisms between different species of organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is also called symbiosis. Butterflies obtain nectar from flowers and in the process pick up pollen grains from the flowers. When they visit the next flower, some of the pollen grains get transferred, thus resulting in pollination. So, both the plants and the butterflies benefit from this interaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within flowers or carried from flower to flower by pollinating animals such as birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles, or other animals, or by the wind. Why are pollinators so important? Examples of crops that are pollinated include apples, squash, and almonds.
