Answer:

The relationship between the clownfish and the anemone, that protects it,  is an example of symbiosis, specifically mutualism.

Explanation:

Symbiosis or mutualism explains an interspecific relationship where two species benefit from each other.

Some anemone species are capable of harboring the clown fish, contributing to its protection and allowing it to feed and spawn.

The clownfish, on the other hand, attracts its predators to the anemone, where it dies from contact with the tentacles and serves as food for both species. Additionally, the clownfish's swimming contributes to the oxygenation of the anemone tentacles.

The other options do not correspond to symbiosis because:

   B. Barnacles do not represent any benefit for the whale, so there is no symbiosis.

    C. The relationship of the flea and the dog is parasitism, where the flea feeds on the dog's blood, and can produce harm.
