Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Generally the intraspecific competition is more intense than inter specific competition as totally unrelated species may compete for the same resource. But resources need not to be limiting for competition to occur as in interference competition, feeding efficiency of one species might be reduced due to inhibitory presence of other species. So the correct option is " Both Assertion and Reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for Assertion".
