Solution

The correct option is D Deer and hare
Interspecific competition occurs between organisms having the same niche (same functional space in the ecosystem). Among the given examples, both hare and deer are herbivores and compete for common food resources. Rats and beetles are omnivores while hawk feeds on carrion. The tree is an autotroph. Thus, the correct answer is D.
