Dear student.
The correct answer is c. Assertion is True, Reason is False.
Assertion is true according to the Competitive Exclusion Principle of Gause. It states that no two competing species can co-exist together in the same niche at the same habitat.
Reason is false because a habitat can have more than one ecological niche.
