Austin Warren · Answer 1

Option-C

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, the individuals of a population can be distributed in one of the three ways: the random, clumped or uniform distribution.

The uniform distribution is the distribution in which the individuals are equally or regularly distributed in a particular space. This could be the result of the harm that could be done by the individuals and is observed in the population of both plants and animals.

In the given question, the male beta fish does not allow other betta fish to grow in its small territory and if finds fight, harm and sometimes can kill other beta fish.

Thus, Option-C is correct.
