The answer to your question would be option 2: Parasitism.

Parasitism is the act of an organism feeding off another organism, that does not kill the host organism at first but may eventually, if not treated.

Predation is the act of immediately killing another organism for your benefit.

Mutualism is where two organism benefit each other when involved.

Commensalim is two organism where only one organism benefits, but it does not give any affect to the other organism.

Thus, I feel Parasitism would best fit your description!

Hope this helps!

vivado [14]
Biodiversity is essential in medicine as most active chemicals used to make medicines are derived from plants or other organisms. Climate change today threatens species that are vital to medicine. An example would be coral reefs. Studies have been done on reefs that look at fighting cancers, HIV and other ailments. One of the richest zones of biodiversity is the tropics and this region is under threat from global warming and deforestation. It is important to preserve these species for use in future medicinal research. <span />
