Both organisms benefit from each other

Answer 1

The statement that best describes a consumer/producer relationship is:

"One organism eats another organism that makes its own food."

In this context, the "producer" refers to organisms that create their own food (usually through photosynthesis, such as plants), while the "consumer" refers to organisms that eat those producers (e.g., herbivores). Thus, in this relationship, the consumer relies on the producer for nourishment.
