Gause's principle of competitive exclusion states that:

  1. A
    Competition for the same resources excludes species having different food preferences
  2. B
    No two species can occupy the same niche indefinitely for the same limiting resources
  3. C
    Larger organisms exclude smaller ones through competition
  4. D
    More abundant species will exclude the less abundant species through competition
