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.

Why is the menstrual cycle an important adaptation for reproduction in humans?
raketka [301]
The menstrual cycle is practically controlled by a system of hormones that is necessary for reproduction, and when the hormone reaches a heightened level, something called estradiol is made, then the stimulation of the ovaries by a luteinizing hormone.

Once that hormone begins developing, the ovaries make an egg that quickly becomes an ovum. The ovary then releases one egg or two during ovulation. The endometrium (the part that sheds its own cells for the menstruation) peaks after ovulation and changes the lining of the uterus to prepare for the hectic process of pregnancy and child labor. 

Hope that was helpful.
