This question is asking us for a term that describes when two different species fight for the same tree and for the same resources on that tree.
00:12
So, for example, the insects on that tree for food source.
00:16
So let's go over some of the types of competition in the answer choices.
00:21
So answer choice a is intra -specific competition.
00:27
Intra means within.
00:29
So this is competition between members of the same species.
00:32
So an example of this is if the blue species would compete against a different individual in the blue species for the same resources.
00:40
So that is not the answer.
00:44
Answer choice b is interference competition.
00:48
In interference competition, that is when, say, the red species would fight and defend the tree and will directly interfere with the blue species access to the tree.
01:01
So this has to do with two different species.
01:03
However, it's when one species, so the red species, will directly defend and interfere with the other species for getting access to that resource.
01:14
So this is not the right answer.
01:20
So answer choice c is exploitation competition.
01:24
That is simply when two species are fighting and competing for the same resources...
