Answer 11

Competition is between organisms fighting for the same food or shelter, in this case is not.
Mutualism is when both organisms benefit and in the question it states that the shark doesn't benefit
Commensalism is when one benefits while the other is unaffected
Parasitism is when one benefits while the other is harmed.
