Answer 2

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

A competition with in an ecosystem usually occurs among the species for limited resources such as food, habitat, etc.

Of all the given options, Option C clearly indicates that both the deer and rabbit depend on the same resource i.e grass for feeding themselves. Over a time period when production of grass would reduce, there can be a competition between these two species for food.

Hence, option C is correct
