all of the following are correct about the impact commensalism has on populations, except:
the population of the species that benefit from the relationship will usually increase.
the population of the species not impacted by the relationship will typically remain the same.
the population of one species will increase, while the other species will remain the same.
the population of both species will increase since no harm comes to either species.

Explanation:

Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship where one species benefits (\(+\)) and the other is neither helped nor harmed (\(0\)). So, the population of the benefiting species may increase (due to the advantage gained from the relationship, like access to food or shelter), and the population of the non - impacted species remains the same. It is not correct to say that the population of both species will increase.

Answer:

The population of both species will increase since no harm comes to either species.
