A) Symbiotic
The relationship between polyps (such as those found in corals) and algae (specifically zooxanthellae) is best described as symbiotic, as they work together in a mutually beneficial way. The algae provide the polyps with nutrients through photosynthesis, while the polyps offer the algae a protected environment and access to sunlight.
