resource partitioning
causes the niches of species to overlap so that they begin to compete with each other.
minimizes competition and allows competing species to coexist
causes species to go extinct.
increases predation rates in a community.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning is an ecological concept where competing species divide shared resources (like food, space, or habitat) to reduce direct competition. This division allows species with similar resource needs to coexist instead of being outcompeted or going extinct. It does not increase niche overlap, cause extinction, or affect predation rates directly.

Answer:

minimizes competition and allows competing species to coexist
