    \nOption D is the correct answer. All three groups listed – Cnidarians, Fungi, and Protozoa – include species that are known to establish various types of symbiotic relationships with other organisms, including mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
    \n<\/section>\n
    \nSymbiosis refers to a close and long-term interaction between two different biological species. This can include mutualistic relationships (both benefit), commensalistic relationships (one benefits, the other is unaffected), or parasitic relationships (one benefits, the other is harmed).
    \n<\/section>\n
    \nExamples: Cnidarians like corals have mutualistic symbiosis with zooxanthellae (algae). Fungi form mycorrhizae with plant roots (mutualism) or are components of lichens (mutualism with algae\/cyanobacteria). Protozoa include parasitic forms like Plasmodium (malaria) and mutualistic forms like those in termite guts that digest cellulose.
