C. commensalism
Based on the data, it can be inferred that a commensal relationship has historically taken place between dogs and humans. This is because the dog population has increased steadily over time while the human population has remained relatively stable. In a commensal relationship, one species benefits (dogs) while the other is not significantly affected (humans).
