Answer:

B)Specialists Generalists

Step-by-step explanation:

As described, a niche is the functional role that a species plays in the community. It refers to how a species will respond to the distribution of resources. Example, a species can be a predator or a prey

Therefore, specialists will refer to species that have very specific resource requirement

Whereas those that have broad niches(able to use wide array of resources) are known as Generalists.
