Two species can avoid competition and can make better use of the environment's resources by occupying different:
Correct answer: C. Niches
- A. Adaptation
- B. Polymorphism
- C. Niches
- D. Specialization
Explanation
A niche is an exact position or location, so if two species occupy different niches, they will be having separate reservoirs of environmental resources. Hence, there will be no competition to survive and avail the resources. However, if they occupy different polymorphisms, adaptations, or specializations (options A, C, and D) they will still be sharing the resources which will create competition.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
