The relationship that is an example of commensalism is option C) Remora fish stick to large sharks, receiving a free ride and scraps of food the shark does not eat. The shark is neither helped nor harmed.
Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits while the other organism is neither helped nor harmed. In this case, the remora fish benefit from sticking to the large sharks because they receive a free ride and are able to eat the scraps of food that the shark does not consume. On the other hand, the shark is not affected by the presence of the remora fish in any significant way.
