Answer:
The correct answer is This is an example of competition, and the musk ox were better adapted to the environment.
Both the Musk Ox and the Caribou eat the same food in the same land so they are competitive with each other over it. The number of Caribou has been reduced compared to the number of Musk Ox which has increased because the Musk Ox has been better at adapting and procuring food for themselves. It is a situation of the survival of the fittest.
