    The right answer is b) competitive exclusion principle (principle of Gause)

    In fundamental ecology, and more specifically in population biology, the principle of Gause (or principle of mutual exclusion, or principle of competitive exclusion) is a principle of population dynamics stipulating that two populations can not subsist on the same ecological niche.
