Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
• B. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
• C. А-III, В-1, C-II, D-IV
• D. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Answer 2

A. Migratory flamingoes and resident fish: Flamingoes and fish likely compete for some shared resources in the lakes, representing interspecific competition. A-IV

B. Abingdon tortoise extinction: Goats outcompeted the tortoises for resources, leading to their extinction. This illustrates interference competition, where one species directly prevents another from accessing resources. B-I

C. Chathamalus competitive release: With Balanus absent, Chathamalus experienced no longer being limited by competition, expanding its range. C-II

D. Warblers feeding in different locations : These warblers have likely evolved to partition resources by feeding in distinct areas of the tree, reducing competition. This is resource partitioning. D-II
