Your answer to question 16 is wrong

Report

The competitive exclusion principle suggest that if two individuals of different species had exactly the same niche then one would be outcompeted by the other, it would die out and become extinct.

Interspecific competition is competition between individuals of different species and therefore describes the competitive exclusion principle.
