Predation is the interaction between two species in which one species (the predator) benefits by killing and consuming the other species (the prey), which is harmed. Mutualism is an interaction in which both species benefit, commensalism is an interaction in which one species benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed, and competition is an interaction in which both species are harmed. None of these options fully describe a situation in which one species benefits and the other is harmed.
