Claire, an ecologist, is finding it difficult to identify an interaction in nature because of changing environmental conditions and the complex indirect interactions of multiple species. which interaction is claire trying to find in nature? a. interference competition b. apparent competition c. exploitation competition d. predation e. symbiosis

The correct answer is option C, that is, exploitation competition.

Explanation:

The competitions can be classified usually into two on the basis of the mechanism taking place, that is, the exploitation competition and interference competition. The competition among the organisms is indirect in case of exploitation competition, while in opposition to it is interference competition wherein in the association between the competing species is direct. However, though the interaction is not direct, the competition between the species in exploitation competition leads to depletion of the resources, thus, restricting the accessibility of the resources for other species.
