The correct answer is - A. intraspecific, direct.

In the image we can see two cheetahs trying to eat the same piece of the carcass of a killed animal. Since both of the animals on the picture are members of the same species, that means that it is an intraspecific competition, a competition that defines the competing of the animals of the same species.

Since the situation involves direct physical encounter and struggle to get hold onto the food source, this is a scenario of a direct competition as well. Thus on the image we have two animals from the same species that fight for a food source, or with other words, intraspecific, direct competition.
