Answer:
A. Rock pieces
Explanation:
Abrasion is the breaking down and wearing away of rock material by the mechanical action of other rocks. Three agents of physical weathering that can cause abrasion are moving water, wind and gravity. None of those are agents of abrasion. But Rock pieces are a result of abrasion.
Your answer would be A because none of the others make sense, Hope that helps!
<h2>Competitive exclusion principle.</h2>
Explanation:
The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are identical, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are different.
All the possible combination of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce is called its fundamental niche. Whereas, the more limited set of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce in the presence of competitors and predators is termed as its realized niche.
Competitive exclusion principle states that if two competing species coexist in a stable, homogeneous environment, then they do so as a result of differentiation in their realized niche.
<em>B. balanoides</em> can use a wider range of resources than<em> C. stellatus </em>because its fundamental and realized niches are identical . Hence thrives to exclude C.stellatus.

This process is known as synaptic pruning.
Synapse pruning is the process when the synapses are eliminated and it occurs usually in the early childhood. Synapses that are eliminated are the ones that organism no longer needs. Synaptic pruning process is regulated and influenced by environmental factors.
