The event that would decrease competition for resources in an ecosystem is:

a disease reduces the population of rabbits in a grassland area.

This event would lower the number of individuals competing for resources such as food and habitat, thereby decreasing competition. The other options either increase competition or have ambiguous effects on resource availability.
