Solution

The correct option is B Interspecific competition
The given situation is the example of interspecific competition.

It is a type of competition where the individuals of different species compete for the resources.

Intraspecific competition is an interaction in the population where the members of the same species compete for limited resources which lead to the reduction in fitness for both individuals.

Members of the same species have very similar resources requirements whereas different species have a smaller contested resource overlap, resulting in intraspecific competition generally being a stronger force than interspecific competition. Individuals can compete for food, water, space, light, mates or any other resource which is required for survival.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
