Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
When the individuals of 2 different species come to live together, they compete with each other for food, shelter and other basic needs of life. As a result, the one with greater evolutionary success over another will dominate and the other species has to starve. Thus, the weaker one might either get extinct and die, have to relocate or change their dietary habits.
So, option D is the correct answer.
