Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits at the expense of the other organism. Tapeworms are an example. Tapeworms get food from the digestive system of their host while the host may suffer from various disorders. So, the correct answer is ‘Parasitism’
Detailed explanation-2: -In parasitism, one species (the parasite) lives with, on, or in a host species, at the expense of the host species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Commensalism: In commensalism, one organism benefits while the other organism neither benefits nor suffers from the interaction. For example, a spider may build a web on a plant and benefit substantially, while the plant remains unaffected.
