2. mutualist

4. parasite

Option C

Explanation:

Nutrient recycler: The bacterial decompose the dead plant and release the organic elements back to soil or air. The organic matter present in the dead plant parts is decomposed and the carbon is released into the air. Similarly, other nutrients stored in the dead plant are decomposed by the bacteria and are released into the environment so that they can enter the nutrient cycles.  

Mutualist: The bacteria living on the surface of leaf obtains nutrition from it. The plant is benefited by this association since the bacteria prevents the invasion of other pathogens in the plant. An ecological interaction wherein both the species are benefited is called mutualism.

Parasite: Once the bacteria enter the leaf, it causes disease to the plant. Here, the plant is the host while the bacteria is a parasite. The plant is harmed while bacterial obtains nutrition from the plant.

When one species looks harmful or unpalatable?
Fudgin [204]
Batesian mimicry is when an organism uses colors or symbols that other organisms regard as dangerous. These organisms use their scary appearance to appear as more of a threat than they really are, such as the viceroy butterfly, which looks like a poisonous monarch but is actually harmless.
