Answer 1

Cattle and egret

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship involving two organisms whose actions cause them to benefit from one another. In other words, both organisms do one another a favour, hence, the relationship is said to be MUTUAL.

- An example of a mutualistic relationship is that of CATTLE AND EGRET. Cattle gets infested by certain parasites like ticks and fleas, which feeds on their blood. Egrets are bird species that flock around cattle to feed on these insect parasites. This relationship is mutual because, egrets help the cattle get rid of their parasite problem (cattle benefits) while the cattle provides food for the egrets when they harbor these parasites on their body (egret benefits).
