Question

which of the following describes interspecific competition?
cooperation between different species
competition between species for the same limited resource
the process of species forming new adaptations
competition between individuals of the same species

Explanation:

Interspecific competition is defined as competition between different species for shared limited resources. Let's analyze each option:

• The yellow option refers to cooperation (not competition) between different species, so it's incorrect.
• The purple option states "Competition between species for the same limited resource" which matches the definition of interspecific competition (between different species for resources).
• The orange option is about species forming new adaptations (not competition), so it's incorrect.
• The green option describes intraspecific competition (competition within the same species), not interspecific.

Answer:

B. Competition between species for the same limited resource (assuming the purple option is labeled B; if the original labels were different, adjust the identifier but keep the text. Since the options are color - coded, the correct one is the purple - colored option with the text "Competition between species for the same limited resource")
