less competition for pollinators within the species .

Answer 1

The correct response is:

less competition for pollinators with other species

This means that the plant species benefits from a dedicated pollinator because it doesn’t have to compete with other plant species for pollination services, which can lead to a higher pollination efficiency and potentially better reproductive success.
