b. Seabirds: parasitism
Jellyfish: commensalism
Copepods: predation
c. Seabirds: predation
Jellyfish: mutualism
Copepods: commensalism
d. Seabirds: commensalism
Jellyfish: parasitism
Copepods: mutualism
Answer:
The correct answer is option A. Seabirds: mutualism
Jellyfish: predation
Copepods: parasitism
Explanation:
In this given example sunfish have three different relationships with all three organisms that are related to it tat are seabird, jellyfish, and copepods.
With seabirds, sunfish shows mutualism as they both get benefitted from their relationship in which seabirds feed on copepods and sunfish get rid of their parasite.
With jellyfish, sunfish feed on the jellyfish mainly which suggests that they are predator and jellyfish are prey and their relationship is of predation.
With copepods, copepods bury their heads on the soft tissue of the sunfish so they are parasite on the sunfish that is example of the parasitism
