5. In a bird species A, the male alone builds the nest, incubates the eggs and feeds the nestling. In bird species B. it is the female that does all that. In bird species C, both sexes contribute to the above activities. In the species A and B, the uninvolved partner may fly away and mate again. Which sex among A.

Species A and Species B begin to forage in different areas of the habitat b.) Species B is a better at obtaining prey than Species A and drives Species A to extinction in this habitat c.) Over time, Species A develops a beak shape adapted for a particular type of prey and Species B develops a beak shape adapted to a different type of prey d.) Species A is better at obtaining prey than Species B and drives Species B to extinction in this habitat
