Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In a negative interaction, one organism or both the organisms (associating) are harmed in any way during their life period. Antibiosis is a type of negative interaction, in which complete or partial inhibition or death of one organism has taken plance by the products of another organism. Here, none of them derive any benefit, e.g. antibiotics derived from fungi are antagonistic to microbes.
