symbiosis comes from the greek syn "with" and biosis "living" 

Symbiotic relationships need not be mutual, they can be parasitic, though one member must benefit. 

A- true, symbiotic relationships need not be mutual. 
B- false (imagine the bird and the crocodile) 
C- false, they don't necessarily live together, they come together for a purpose. 
D- False, see A, 
E- see A

its defninitiy not D because symbiosis can be  bad or good. its not E because it can be bad or good. its not C because its not living together. Its A because what is the point of doing it if no one gets a benefit. Its not B because they can live without eachother...just not as happily.
