D. (1) hibernation , (2) escape , (3) Mutualism

Answer

To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks in the two statements provided. Let's break it down step by step.

### Step 1: Analyze Statement I
The first statement is: "Bears go into ………(1) ………..during winter to ……….(2)………cold weather."

- For blank (1), we need to identify what bears do during winter. Bears typically enter a state of dormancy during the winter months to conserve energy and survive the cold. The correct term for this state is **"hibernation."**

- For blank (2), we need to identify the purpose of this behavior. Bears hibernate to **"escape"** the harsh cold weather.

### Step 2: Analyze Statement II
The second statement is: "A wasp pollinating a fig flower is an example of ………..(3)………."

- Here, we need to identify the type of relationship between the wasp and the fig flower. The relationship is one of mutual benefit, where both species rely on each other for survival. This type of relationship is known as **"mutualism."**

### Final Answer
So, the filled statements would be:
(I) Bears go into **hibernation** during winter to **escape** cold weather.
(II) A wasp pollinating a fig flower is an example of **mutualism**.

The correct option that gives the correct fill-up for the respective blanks is **Option D**.
