Which type of relationship exists between two whales that both feed on tuna?

a. predation
b. parasitism
c. competition
d. commensalism

I believe the correct answer is:

C. competition

The correct answer is C. There is a relationship of competition between two whales that both feed on tuna.

Explanation:

In biology, competition refers to any antagonistic relationship associated with the struggle for existence, for dominance, for food, space and other resources between organisms, species or populations of species that need the same resources.

This "competition" often involves associations of organisms, species or entire guilds, as well as complex phenomena of bioconstruction, symbiosis and mutualism. Regulatory systems by auto-inhibition or predation of competition make the coexistence of many species possible, even in very poor environments (oligotrophs) which are often the richest in biodiversity.

h let me think

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
