Read the passage. Then answer the question.
a megabat carrying a fig away from a fig tree
Megabats are large-bodied bats that eat
fruit, including figs.
When a megabat eats a fig, it may also
swallow the seeds inside the fig. The bat
gets energy from the fruit but cannot
digest the seeds. The seeds pass through
the bat's digestive system and are
disposed of in its feces.
The bat often drops the seeds far from
the fig tree that produced the fruit. When
a seed germinates, or begins to grow, in
a new location, it doesn't need to
compete with its parent tree for
resources. So, both the fig seed and the
parent tree have a better chance of
surviving.
Which type of relationship is formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the fig tree's seeds
in a new location?
commensal
mutualistic
parasitic
