Which of the following statements correctly compares commensalism and parasitism? In one interaction, only one species is benefiting but in the other,only one is being harmed. In one interaction, only one species is benefiting but in the other,both are benefiting. In both interactions, only one species is harmed.however, in one of those interactions, one of the species is benefiting. In both interactions, only one species is benefiting;however, in one of those interactions, one of the species is harmed.

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the correct statement that accurately compares commensalism and parasitism. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. This means that in commensalism, only one species benefits and the other is unaffected.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Parasitism, on the other hand, is a type of symbiotic relationship where one species benefits at the expense of the other. This means that in parasitism, one species benefits while the other is harmed.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />By comparing these two types of symbiotic relationships, we can see that the correct statement is the one that says "In both interactions, only one species is benefiting; however, in one of those interactions, one of the species is harmed."
