The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Concept of Commensalism**: - Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits while the other organism is neither helped nor harmed. 2. **Analyze the Given Options**: - Option A: Liver fluke, man - This is a parasitic relationship where the liver fluke benefits at the expense of the man. - Option B: Tortoise, goat - This does not represent commensalism; it is more of a neutral interaction. - Option C: Orchid, mango tree - The orchid benefits by growing on the mango tree to access sunlight, while the mango tree is neither harmed nor benefited. - Option D: Cuckoo, crow - This is also a parasitic relationship, as cuckoos often lay their eggs in the nests of crows, benefiting at the crow's expense. 3. **Identify the Correct Example**: - Based on the analysis, the only option that illustrates commensalism is Option C, where the orchid benefits from the mango tree without affecting it. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: orchid and mango tree.
