OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Symbiosis is the interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Competition is the relationship in which each of the participating species get harmed. For example if two species compete with each other for food then as a outcome of it both of them will receive limited/reduced amount of food and hence both are harmed.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

OpenStudy (abhisar):

The question is asking about the opposite behaviour which is as you said mutualism.
