Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take a look at the owl, it is a kind of carnivore, so it must be a secondary consumer(btw, primary consumers are herbivores). So we can eliminate answer C and D. The competition between the same species for this situation is the most intense one, so we can eliminate answer B as well, since hawk and owl are all birds. So the answer is A.

Hope this will help❤️
