Competition Contexts Examples A. Interference Competition 1. Flamingoes and fishes competing for zooplankton B. Resource Limitation 2. Abingdon tortoise extinction due to goats C. Competitive Exclusion 3. Species expanding distribution when competing species is removed D. Competitive Release 4. Feeding efficiency reduced by the presence of another species

Options

  1. AA - 4, B - 1, C - 2, D - 3
  2. BA - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
  3. CA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
  4. DA - 2, B - 3, C - 4, D - 1

Correct answer

A. A - 4, B - 1, C - 2, D - 3

Step-by-step solution

Interference competition occurs when one species' feeding efficiency is reduced by the presence of another species. Resource limitation involves competition for limited resources, as seen with flamingoes and fishes. Competitive exclusion is demonstrated by the Abingdon tortoise's extinction due to goats. Competitive release is shown by a species expanding its range when a competing species is removed.
