According to the competitive exclusion principle, two species cannot continue to occupy the same a) habitat. b) niche. c) territory. d) range. e) biome.

Niche

Explanation:

Niche basically is the lifelihood of a species that involves feeding on what, drinking from what

If both species are competing for the same resources, they would compete until a certain species is eradicated. (think of it as 2 species of ants in 2 colonies that are close to each other, take the same leaves, prey and stuff. They would fight with each other in other until one colony is eradicated.) hence, unless a species and adapt and change its niche, both species would fight until one is eliminated. Thus, the principle states that 2 species cannot continue to occupy the same niche, not living environment.

explanation:

the fossil record extends back to a dog-like ancestor some 55 million years ago, which gave rise to the first horse-like species 55 to 42 million years ago in the genus eohippus.
