b) it is commensalism because the bacteria and pea plant don't harm each other.

c) it is competition because the rhizobia and pea plant both need the limited amount of available nitrogen.

d) it is mutualism because the bacteria receives carbon from the pea plant, while the plant uses the ammonia to make amino acids.
