Which event is the best example of competition between species in a pond environment?

Question

frogs and toads eating flies

Dragonflies landing on lily pads

hawks eating mice

lizards and snakes lying in the sun

Answer 1

The best example of competition between species in a pond environment from the options provided is frogs and toads eating flies. Both frogs and toads may compete for the same food source (flies), which illustrates interspecific competition—competition between individuals of different species for the same resources. The other options involve different forms of interaction (such as predation or taking advantage of environmental resources) rather than direct competition between species.
