Question

• A. Geographical area that it covers
• B. Place where it lives
• C. Set of conditions and resource it uses
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Set of conditions and resource it uses

The coexistence of two similar species in the same ecosystem is possible until and unless they share the same niche. In ecological terms, a niche is related to the behaviour of a species living in a particular environmental condition. So, the habitat of the organism is when it constitutes the niche. The conditions, factors and the resources which are available in the ecology and are used by the organisms forms the niche.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
