Select the INCORRECT match.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The interaction between a sea anemone and a clown fish is an example of commensalism, not mutualism.

In this relationship, the clown fish benefits by gaining protection from predators by living among the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone. The sea anemone is neither harmed nor does it derive any apparent benefit from the clown fish.

Hummingbirds and the plants they pollinate exhibit co-evolution. Lice on humans are ectoparasites, representing parasitism. Flamingos and resident fishes in shallow lakes compete for a common food resource such as zooplankton, which is an example of competition.

Therefore, the incorrect match is given in the third option.

Answer: Sea anemone and clown fish : Mutualism
