A. Co-species
B. Intraspecies
C. Interspecies
D. Habitat

Answer 1

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an ecological environment living things of different or same species compete with each other for the limited resources available. It is a symbiotic interaction between these living things.

There are two types of competition between these living beings- intraspecific and interspecific. In the given scenario, it is an intraspecific competition between the monarch butterfly and the queen butterfly.

Intraspecific competition is a competition between two living beings of the same species.

The monarch butterfly and the queen butterfly both belong to the same species- danaus.

Therefore, option B is correct.
