Which event is the best example of competition between species in a pond?
A
dragonflies landing on lily pads
B
lizards and snakes lying in the sun
C
hawks eating mice
D
frogs and toads eating flies
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The best example of competition between species in a pond is frogs as well as toads that eat flies. Here, both of the species, that is frogs and toads, feed on the same type of prey. Hence, there is a competition that lies between frogs and toads for the same food source.

Detailed explanation-2: -Resources are often limited in a habitat, and many species may compete to get ahold of them. For instance, plants in a garden may compete with each other for soil nutrients, water, and light. The overall effect of interspecific competition is negative for both species that participate (a-/-interaction).

Detailed explanation-3: -Competition in biology is a biological interaction between or among the same or different organisms where the organisms fight for resources. For example, trees in the forest grow tall to compete for sunlight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals compete for air, food, shelter, water, and space. Plants also compete with each other for the resources they need, including air, water, sunlight, and space. These interactions within an ecosystem help keep the populations of various organisms in balance and are necessary to keep an ecosystem healthy.
