As a result of competition,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Competition can have various outcomes depending on the species, resources available, and intensity of the competition. One species may outcompete the other leading to the extinction of the weaker competitor (option A). Alternatively, both species may divide the resources and survive, leading to coexistence (option B). However, survival may come at a cost, and both populations may decline due to reduced access to resources or increased predation risks (option C). In rare cases, competition may promote biodiversity as it drives species to occupy distinct niches, reducing competition for resources (option D). Therefore, all of the mentioned outcomes may occur as a result of competition, making option E the most appropriate choice.
