Humans release carbon dioxide that plants need; plants provide oxygen that humans need.

Answer
A
parasitism
B
commensalism
C
mutualism

This is mutualism because both humans and plants benefit from the relationship. Humans release carbon dioxide, which plants use, and plants release oxygen, which humans need. Parasitism harms one organism, while commensalism benefits one without affecting the other.
