b.
orchid
c.
Spanish moss
d.
none of the above

Answer 1

A.  a strangler fig

The Spanish Moss only slows down growth if there is too much of it, but it can actually be quite helpful.

an orchid doesn't actually harm trees either

a strangler fig does harm trees by suffocating them and taking all their light, therefore killing them.
