The correct Answer is:
To determine the relationship between cattle egrets and grazing cattle, we need to analyze the interactions between the two species. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms**: - The two organisms in question are the cattle egret (a type of bird) and grazing cattle (such as cows). 2. **Understand Their Interaction**: - The cattle egret is known to follow grazing cattle and feed on the insects (like ticks and flies) that are disturbed or found on the cattle's body. 3. **Analyze the Benefits**: - The cattle egret benefits by getting food (insects) from the cattle. - The grazing cattle are not harmed or significantly affected by the presence of the cattle egret; they continue to graze without any negative impact. 4. **Determine the Type of Relationship**: - Since the cattle egret benefits from the relationship (it gets food) while the grazing cattle are neither helped nor harmed, this type of interaction is classified as **commensalism**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the relationship between cattle egrets and grazing cattle is an example of commensalism. ### Final Answer: Cattle egret and grazing cattle is an example of **commensalism**. ---
