Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resource competition is most likely to occur when two or more species have overlapping diet preferences and exploit the same limited resource. This can be a result of differences in a phenotypic trait, such as body size, feeding apparatus or digestive enzyme activity. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not necessarily relate to resource competition. Option C is incorrect because resource competition may occur in any ecosystem, not just in lakes.
