Answer:

Option C, The black squirrel has no predators, and the red squirrel faces higher competition for resources.

Explanation:

Here , the black squirrel  is an invasive species and it competes with red squirrel for food as they rely on the same food unlike the gray squirrel.

As shown in the graph, the black squirrel's population has increased at a very fast rate as compared to the population of grey and red squirrel.  

Thus, it can be concluded that there are no predators for black squirrel thereby contributing to it high growth. Also the red squirrel face tough competition with the black squirrel for food due to which population of red squirrel is declining.

Hence, option C is correct.
