The correct answer is D. Insects lay eggs in the sloth's waste.

Explanation:

Commensalism is a type of interaction between organisms of different species, in this, one organism benefits from another without causing any benefit or damage. Due to this, commensalism differs from other interactions such as parasitism in which one organism benefit from another and causes harm to it, or from mutualism as in this, the organisms involved obtain a benefit. This implies the one that is an example of commensalism is "Insects lay eggs in the sloth's waste" because in this relationship insects obtain a benefit that is a place to lay eggs while the sloth remains unaffected.

Mazyrski [523]

An important characteristic of scientific experiments is that their results can be replicated. In this case, assuming that the laboratories followed the same procedure as the pharmaceutical company, the fact that the data could not be replicated means that the company's claims are invalid. The validity of the claims is more questionable given the huge difference in the final conclusions, with the company reporting a 35% decrease, while the maximum decrease observed by the labs was 8%.

How can extinctions and expansions occur in the same habitat? Explain your answer.
never [62]

When a habitat is destroyed, the carrying capacity for indigenous plants, animals, and other organisms is reduced so that populations decline, sometimes up to the level of extinction. Habitat loss is perhaps the greatest threat to organisms and biodiversity.Extinction happens when environmental factors or evolutionary problems cause a species to die out. The disappearance of species from Earth is ongoing, and rates have varied over time.
