Solution

The correct option is C Gause's hypothesis
In ecology, the competitive exclusion principle, referred to as Gause's law of competitive exclusion is a proposition that states that two species competing for the same resource cannot coexist at constant population values, if other ecological factors remain constant. When one species has even the slightest advantage or edge over another then the one with the advantage will dominate in the long term.
