Answer 2

Answer:

The correct form of competition is found to be option (ii) Apparent Competition.

Explanation:

• Invasion of territories by the exotic shrubs is frequently associated with a drop in the cornucopia of native species, particularly trees. This is generally interpreted as substantiation for direct resource com- solicitation between the raider and native species.
• Still, this may also reflect circular impacts of  exotic shrubs through harbouring high consistence of seed predator, known as apparent competition.
• Apparent competition is a form of competition between species, or a group of organisms laterally contending with another species or group of organisms, which both of them serve as prey of a hunter/predator.
