Answer 1

An example of interspecific competition is **a snake and fox hunting mice**. Interspecific competition occurs when individuals of different species compete for the same resources, such as food, habitat, or other ecological niches. In this case, both the snake and the fox are hunting for the same prey (mice), which constitutes interspecific competition.

The other options describe intraspecific competition (same species) or a symbiotic relationship (bacteria in the human colon).
