Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
MacArthur showed that five closely related species of warblers living on the same tree were able to avoid competition and co-exist due to behavioral differences in their foraging activities. These five species were able to co-exist by resources partitioning by choosing different feeding time and foraging activity.
So the correct option is 'Both the assertion and reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation for assertion’
