The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Amensalism**: Amensalism is a type of interaction between two organisms. In this interaction, one organism is adversely affected while the other organism is neither harmed nor benefited. 2. **Identifying the Key Characteristics**: The key characteristics of amensalism are: - One organism suffers negative effects (is harmed). - The other organism remains unaffected (neither benefits nor suffers). 3. **Example of Amensalism**: A classic example of amensalism is antibiosis. - In this case, the mold *Penicillium notatum* secretes a chemical known as an antibiotic. - This antibiotic inhibits the growth of *Staphylococcus* bacteria. - Here, *Staphylococcus* is adversely affected by the presence of *Penicillium*, while *Penicillium* is neither benefited nor harmed. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, amensalism can be summarized as a type of interaction where one organism is harmed (negative impact) and the other is unaffected (neutral impact). ### Final Answer: Amensalism is a type of interaction where one organism is adversely affected (negative impact) and the other is neither harmed nor benefited (neutral impact). ---
