which of the following states that too closely related species competing for the same resources cannot coexist indefinitely and the competitively inferior one will be eventually eliminated?

Assertion: Competition always occurs between closely related species complete for same resources that are limiting. Reason:- Totally unrelated species could not complete for same resources.

Assertion : Elimination of a competitively inferior species in a closely related or otherwise similar group is known as competitive exclusion principle.

Assertion (A): All copulations do not lead to the fertilisation and pregnancy. Reason (R): Fertilisation can occur only if the ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to the ampulllary-isthmic junction.
