Lewis Zimmerman · Answer 1

A. One species will start using another food source if possible

Explanation:

Naturally, it is rare to see different species sharing the exact niche. They may feed on the same things but their diets may consist of a variety of sources. So one way to avoid interspecific competition is that one or both of the species can feed on another type of food source. Another way they can avoid this as well is change in feeding patterns, meaning they would feed at different times. Like one can eat at night, and the other would eat in the morning.
