a)ticks feeding on a dog
b)bees transporting pollen from flowers
c)pilotfish swimming under sharks
d)birds eating the insects from the back of a hippopotamus

I would have to say B, because ticks would not be symbiotic and pilot fish and insects on a hippo are not parasitic.
The bees and flowers could be both useful and harmful depending on the circumstances.
