Correct answer: D. Niche

Competition is greatest when species occupy the same ecological niche because they require the same resources and perform similar roles in the ecosystem. A habitat is merely the physical place where an organism lives and may contain many species with different resource requirements. Students may choose c by treating habitat and niche as synonyms, but niche includes the organism's resource use and ecological role.
