The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect, we will analyze each of the four statements provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the first statement**: - The statement claims that in Amensalism, one species is harmed and the other is benefited. - **Correct Understanding**: In Amensalism, one species is harmed (negative impact) while the other is unaffected (neutral impact). Therefore, the first statement is incorrect. 2. **Analyze the second statement**: - The statement describes Commensalism as an interaction where one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited. - **Correct Understanding**: This is accurate. In Commensalism, one species gains benefits (positive impact) while the other remains unaffected (neutral impact). This statement is correct. 3. **Analyze the third statement**: - The statement mentions that the association of cattle and grazing is a classical example of Commensalism. - **Correct Understanding**: This is also true. The cattle provide a habitat for various organisms (like birds) that benefit from their presence without harming the cattle. Thus, this statement is correct. 4. **Analyze the fourth statement**: - The statement indicates that competition occurs when closely related species compete for the same resources, and that both species are mainly harmed. - **Correct Understanding**: This is accurate. In competition, both species may suffer due to resource depletion. Thus, this statement is correct. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is the **first statement** regarding Amensalism.
