Question

why do species compete within their own species and with other species? to have something fun to do to avoid work to obtain the resources necessary for survival

Explanation:

In the context of biology (a subfield of Natural Science), species compete (both intraspecific and interspecific) mainly to acquire essential resources like food, water, shelter, and mates that are required for their survival and reproduction. The options "to have something fun to do" and "to avoid work" are illogical as competition in nature is driven by survival needs, not leisure or evading work.

Answer:

C. to obtain the resources necessary for survival (assuming the third option is labeled C; if the original labels were different, adjust accordingly, e.g., if the third option was A, B, C as per standard, then it's the third option with text "to obtain the resources necessary for survival")
