Question

which situation is an example of competition that could be found in the grassland? deer eat berries and their droppings seed new areas, creating new berry bushes two lion populations utilize the same gazelle population as their main food source two shark populations utilize the same fish population as their main food source lack of sunlight due to changes in the seasons restricts the growth of certain plants

Explanation:

Competition in an ecosystem occurs when two or more organisms compete for a limited shared resource. First, we eliminate options not set in grasslands: sharks and fish are aquatic, so that option is invalid. The deer-berry interaction is mutualism, not competition. Seasonal sunlight limitation is an abiotic restriction, not competition. The two lion populations competing for the same gazelle food source is grassland-based resource competition.

Answer:

B. two lion populations utilize the same gazelle population as their main food source
