Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Gause's competitive exclusion principle states that when two species compete for the same resources, they cannot co-exist. This means that one of the two species, which is not fit to survive, will slowly get eliminated. But the given statement is true only if the resources for which the species compete with each other are limited. Otherwise, the given statement does not hold true.So, option B is the correct answer.
