Verified Answer :

The answer is D) A plant species that grows taller than other plants and deprives shorter plants of light.
The plant species grows taller then other plants so that its leaves will have a better amount of sunlight reaching it and when it grows over the smaller plants it deprives the shorter plants of sunlight. This is a competition for sunlight therefore it is considered a competitive relationship.
