The given statement is True.

According to competitive exclusion principle-

Two species, which compete for the same limiting resource (like food) in a particular area can not exist together. The species having slighter advantage over the other will survive and exclude the other one. In other words, the other species will either extinct or move to some other niche.

Thus, the given statement that two organisms cannot fill the same niche is true according to this principle.

answer;

c. a tree whose roots are surrounded by wet sand.

explanation;

water stress is an important factor limiting the growth and productivity of forests.water stress is the most often cited cause of poor survival and growth of woody landscape plants.

-insufficient soil moisture is the most common form of water stress, but excess moisture that leads to poor soil aeration (hypoxia) can also result in reduced plant vitality. a tree whose roots are surrounded by wet sand would be least likely to experience water stress.
