this is an example of...
o a competition
o b commensalism

Explanation:

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both species benefit. Here, the crocodile gets rid of leeches (benefit) and the plover bird gets food (benefit). Competition is when species vie for the same resources. Commensalism is when one benefits and the other is unaffected. Parasitism is when one benefits at the expense of the other.

d. mutualism
