Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Amensalism is a type of population interaction where one population is inhibited or harmed while the other population remains unaffected (0/- interaction). A classic example is the release of antibiotics by certain fungi (e.g., Penicillium) that inhibit bacteria, while the fungus is unaffected. This contrasts with commensalism (+/0), mutualism (+/+), and competition (-/-).
Hint
Identify the interaction where one species is harmed and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
