Solution

The correct option is C A is correct and R is incorrect
Certain species are highly territorial in nature. They usually lead a solitary life and only interact during mating season for reproduction. Usually when one individual encroaches the territory of another individual of the same species, it leads to turf war and one of individual dies. This is kind of behaviour keeps their population under control. All territorial species are not large. For example- mockingbirds.
