The correct option is A Gause
The principle of competitive exclusion was given by Gause, also called the Gause's law.

The fit and capable of struggle species shall replace the weak one. For example, wipe out of red-squirrels by the grey-squirrels in Britain, owing to the lack of food and subsequent diseases due to reduced fitness in competition.Hence, the correct answer is 'Gause'.
