D Correct answer
Explanation

The Egyptian plover (often called Nile plover) is known for entering crocodiles' mouths to clean their teeth and gums, picking out parasites and food particles. This mutualistic relationship is documented but debated by scientists. Sparrows, kingfishers, and crows do not exhibit this behavior with crocodiles.
