If four different snake species with identical food and habitat niches colonize an island at the same time, and one is better able to detect and acquire food than the others, which of the below options will most likely happen over time?

O The species best able to detect and find food will compete with the others, causing them to occupy smaller realized niches.

O The species best able to detect and find food will outcompete the other snakes; it will eliminate the others via competitive exclusion.

O All four species will coexist because they will all occupy smaller realized niches due to competition.

O One species will persist, but we cannot predict which one; the others will go extinct because of competition
