      The Competitive Exclusion Principle states

      that:
      A Two species with identical niches cannot coexist indefinitely Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Species compete symbiotically for resources Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Resources are evenly distributed among species Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Predators regulate prey populations Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Competitive Exclusion Principle, also known as Gause’s Law, states that when two species compete for the same resources within the same ecological niche, one will outcompete and eliminate the other over time. This happens because one species will have a slight advantage in resource utilization, survival, or reproduction, leading to the exclusion of the other species.
