The diagrams above show the range of tolerance for soil moisture content for two different species of terrestrial invertebrate: Species 1 and Species 2. The ranges represented are for each species where it occurs alone. Soil moisture content is a limiting factor for both species. If populations of both species are placed together in a new location, which of the following diagrams represents the most likely actual (realized) ranges of the species' distribution of individuals with respect to soil moisture content after five generations?

The correct answer is a graph with two curves slightly overlapping

Explanation:

This is because both species 1 and species 2 are very similar in their customs and this would mean that both species will be utilizing the soil moisture at an almost identical rate, it may vary a little bit because one specimen may stay longer but not to make a very large difference.
