Solution

The correct option is A Interference and intraspecific competition
Interference refers to the competition for scarce resources when organisms interact directly; in the given example, two dogs (competition between members of same species i.e. intraspecific) are fighting for a bone making it an interference and intraspecific competition. Exploitative competition occurs when organisms interact indirectly for a scarce resource. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
