Answer»

The correct option is: (c) 1 and 2 only

Explanation:

 Commensalism is a class of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits without affecting the other, e.g. sea anemone hitches a ride on a hermit crab.

Batesian mimicry is demonstrated by Viceroy butterfly to avoid predation. Batesian mimicry is a case of protective or defensive mimicry. Viceroy, a palatable one mimics itself as an unpalatable Monarch butterfly or queen butterfly.
