Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Gause's 'Competitive Exclusion Principle' states that two closely related species competing for the same resources cannot coexist long period and the competitively inferior one will be eliminated eventually. This may be true if resources are limiting,but not otherwise.
So, according to Gause, if two species are occupying same ecological niche and competing for common resources then superior species will exclude the inferior species.
