Answer :

A flower and a bee as the bee pollinates the flower so the flower can spread its genetics information around.

Answer:

c) A flower plant and a bee.

Explanation:

  • Two individuals are said to be in a mutualistic relationship with each other if they benefit each other through their association.
  • In case of a flowering plant and a bee, the relationship is said to be mutualistic as both of them benefit from their association. The honeybee helps the plant in pollination whereas the plants help the honeybee by providing nectar so that it can obtain nutrition.
  • Thus, both the bee and the plant are getting benefitted and hence this is a mutualistic relation.
