Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer is - B.  evolutionary change.

Explanation:

If there is an increase in competition between organisms for food, habitat, or any other resources in an ecosystem it will lead to various impacts on the population of species.

Among the given choices the evolutionary change is the only impact that increases with the increase in competition as the selection pressures are a result of an increase in competition that leads to evolutionary changes in resource preferences of organisms and that affect growth of the organism. If competition takes place between two species then both species show evolutionary changes by selection process and adaption.
