The answer is C because in a commensalism relationship, one benefits and the other isn't necessarily benefited but it's not harmed. So Remora fish are benefited with the sharks scraps for food but the shark isn't harmed.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C) "Remora fish stick to large sharks, receiving a free ride and scraps of food the shark does not eat. The shark is neither helped nor harmed".

Explanation:

Commensalism is defined as a type of interspecies relationship at which one individual gets benefited and the other is neither benefited or harmed. An example of commensalism is the one between remora fish and large sharks. In this case, remora fish gets attached to the large sharks by an organ that acts suction cup. The remora fish gets benefited by receiving transportation, a food source and protection from predators, while the large sharks are neither helped nor harmed.

Even though fossils of life that existed 3-3.5 billion years
pogonyaev

Answer:

Fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animals that were buried millions of years back. These are found to be embedded in the sedimentary types of rocks. The earliest known direct fossils are not obtained in the present day, but the imprints of these fossils are explored in many of the places. These were the ancient micro-fossils such as bacterias, cyanobacteria that existed about 3.5 billion years back.

Some of the direct evidence of fossils are obtained from the rocks in the western part of Australia and the southwestern part of Greenland.

Thus, the imprints of these fossils are found in many rocks at different places, and this suggests the existence of life during that particular time frame.
