The 'Law of Competitive Exclusion' suggests which of the following? Select one: a. None of the other answers are correct. b. Rapid change in the environment increases selective pressures on all species and can lead to 'punctuations' of high extinction rates. c. Introduced predators tend to drive their prey into less ideal, more marginal parts of their ecological range. d. Two species cannot generally occupy the same ecological niche for a sustained period of time; one will become extinct. e. The more sophisticated the social life of a species, the more likely they are to exclude non group members from a territory.
