Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is-

It is predation. The ladybugs are the predators and the aphids are the prey.

As per the information in the question, Ladybug beetles chase, capture, and eat smaller insects called aphids.

This means that aphids act as food source for Ladybug beetles.

Predation can be described as a biological interaction between two organisms belonging to two different species where one organism ( called predator) captures and consumes/eats other organism ( that is called prey).

Here, Ladybug beetles ( that capture and eat small insects) are predators and the insects are prey.

Thus, third option is the right answer.
