Answer:

Option A, This is not an example of competition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Competition between two species occur when they strive for the same limited resources in a given habitat Or when they compete to attract the opposite gender mate for reproduction. Competition can be between two organisms of the same or different species.

In this case, the two grasshopper species are not competing at all. If they would have competed, then the survival of one species would have been definitely affected by the presence of other species.

Hence, option A is correct
