Based on the scenario above, the presence of both squirrels clearly shows commensalism. Commensalism is one of the symbiotic relationships wherein one organism benefits from the other without harming it. In this case, it is the red squirrel that has mostly benefited from the grey squirrel but this also left the grey squirrel unharmed. Answer is option A.
