The answer is C. commensalism. The egret doesn’t help nor does it harm the cattle, and just benefits off of it.

The relationship would be mutual if the egret did something extra, like eat bugs from off of the cattle. That way they would both benefit because the egret gets a snack and the cattle gets a free cleaning.
