Answer:

C. Mutualism is exhibited by the two birds.

The division of limited resources by species to prevent competition in an ecological niche is known as resource partitioning. For example- similar bird species often do resource partitioning by feeding in different parts of the same habitat or taking food of different sizes.

The correct answer is option B Resource partitioning-The two bird species are doing resource partitioning by feeding on the same type of insects in different parts of a tree.

Other options-

A. Predator-prey is incorrect - The interactions between two species in which one is the hunted food supply for the other are known as predator-prey relationships. The predator is the organism that feeds, while the prey is the organism that is fed. Here, none of the bird species is a food supply for the other.

C. Mutualism is incorrect - Mutualism is defined as an ecological interaction between two or more species in which each species benefits in some way.

D. Parasitism is incorrect - Parasitic relationships are those in which one species of animal or plant benefits at the expense of the other, sometimes without killing the host organism.
