Answer:
A. Fungus growing inside an anthill
Explanation:
Short answer: I took the test and it was right
Actual explanation: Mutually beneficial means that both of the organism in the relationship are being benefited. Looking at the options:
-Fungus growing inside the anthill: the ants get the benefits, because it can help with their digestion, and the fungus (tbh, I don't know how the fungus is benefited but I do remember in the lesson that is a symbiotic relationship which means that they are both benefited) So, this one could be the right option
-Fungus growing on the leaves of plants: I don't think that either one, the fungus or the leaves are benefited, so this one is incorrect.
-Fungus used as food for human consumption: This one benefits humans, but not the fugus, so it can not the mutually beneficial, so it is incorrect
- Fungus used to make medications for humans: Again, this only benefits humans and not the fungus so its a no-go
So, after looking at all the answer choices, only A. Fungus growing inside an anthill is the correct answer :) (if you read my long explanation thank you!!)
Hope this helps :),
