Answer 1

A stronger species like lion and deer being benefitted at the cost of another weak species is an example of predation.

In predation, a predator such as a lion captures and feeds on prey such as a deer. Parasitism involves a parasite living in or on a host, while competition harms both species and commensalism benefits one without affecting the other.
