The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Population Density**: The question refers to a high density of tiger population in a specific area. Population density is the number of individuals of a species per unit area. 2. **Factors Affecting Population Density**: Several ecological factors can influence the density of a population, including predation, competition (both inter-specific and intra-specific), and cooperation. 3. **Defining Intra-specific Competition**: Intra-specific competition occurs when individuals of the same species compete for limited resources such as food, territory, and mates. This type of competition can lead to natural selection, where the strongest individuals survive and reproduce. 4. **Impact of Intra-specific Competition on Tiger Population**: In a high-density population of tigers, intra-specific competition can lead to increased dominance among individuals. This competition can enhance reproductive fitness, as dominant individuals are more likely to secure resources and mates. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, a high density of tiger population in an area is primarily a result of intra-specific competition, as it allows for the survival of the fittest and can lead to an increase in the overall population density. **Final Answer**: A high density of tiger population in an area is a result of intra-specific competition. ---
