Birds living in the same habitat differ in their niches because they ____.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

A niche refers to the functional role or position of a species within its ecosystem, including how it utilizes resources. According to Gause's competitive exclusion principle, two species cannot occupy the exact same niche in the same habitat indefinitely. To coexist in the same habitat, bird species undergo resource partitioning, which most commonly involves developing different eating habits or foraging behaviors. This allows them to avoid direct competition for the same food resources.

Answer: have different eating habits.
