organism occupying space in attempt to outcompete others? a. Allelopathy b. Overgrowth c.
Encounter Preemptive
Solution
Allelopathy is found in plants. It is a mechanism by which a plant hinders the growth of other
plants by producing chemicals.
Overgrowth is defined as uncontrolled growth of any organism or population.
Encounter is referred as sudden exposure to any difficulty or face something new.
Preemptive competition is said to be that phenomenon when the competitor is not given a fair
chance to compete with the exusting competitor. In this, the dominant outcompetes the others.
So the answer will be 4th, preemptive.
