Answer:
D.Predation
Explanation:
Living organism interact with one another in their natural environment. The interaction of two organisms is called SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis, however, can be of different types depending on how the organisms relate. One type of symbiotic relationship between organisms is called PREDATION.
Predation is a relationship between two organism in which one organism called PREDATOR kills and feeds on the other organism called PREY in order to obtain energy. In this question, a Manta Ray and a zooplankton is shown.
The Manta ray is described as an aquatic organism that feeds on tiny species like fishes while the zooplankton is a tiny organism found in water bodies. The Manta Ray is the predator that kills and feeds on the zooplankton, hence, the relationship is a PREDATION.

D
Explanation:
All of the other examples are positive
Answer:
The correct answer is "the S layer may play a role in protecting cells from viruses and predatory bacteria found in nature but not in laboratory cultures".
Explanation:
The S-layer (surface layer) is a part of the cell's envelope comprised of of identical proteins or glycoproteins that could be found in archaes and some bacterias in nature. The function of the S-layer is unknown, however the fact that is only seen in nature suggest that it may play a role in protecting cells from viruses and predatory bacteria found in nature but not in laboratory cultures. It is likely that archaes and bacteria synthesize the S-layer when they recognize viruses and predatory bacteria in nature, the S-layer is not synthesized in laboratory cultures because these pathogens are not present.
In this example of evolutionary development, we can see a selective advantage.
Developing of new characteristics, in this case, the spots on moth's wings is a part of the process of adaptation of organisms to their environment.
The new characteristics are acquired through mutations and natural selection filters the ones that are the most beneficial for the holder.
For example, a mutation which results in moths having shorter wings is disadvantageous, because it makes the individual who possesses it less likely to survive and reproduce.
On the other hand, developing of spots that resemble eyes can be advantageous, since it enables the holder of the trait to be more successful and more likely to leave offspring.
