Solution

The correct option is B False
Some of the mutualistic interactions are quite independent, that is, the interacting organisms come together when necessary but they do not exist together. For example all of the flowering plants that are in a mutualistic relationship with different animal species for pollination. However, organisms like lichens show greater interlinkage and cannot function independently.
