Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together. According to the niche differentiation principle, How can competing species in a community coexist? So let's recall the niche differentiation principle and what it means. So we know that it refers to the process by which those competing species coexist with another species in the same community. And so they do this by occupying a different niche, which means that they use the environment differently or answer choice A because the niche differentiation principle refers to the process by which those competing species use the environment in different ways so that they can go about their own role at the same time as another species or coexist.
