Correct answer: B
To correctly match List I with List II, let's understand the types of ecological interactions mentioned:
(A) Migratory flamingoes and resident fish in South American lakes would involve interaction for resources like food, which can be classified as interspecific competition (IV).
(B) Abingdon tortoise became extinct after introduction of goats in their habitat indicates that the introduction of goats led to the extinction due to competition for resources, categorizing it as interference competition (I).
(C) Chathamalus expands its distributional range in the absence of Balanus shows that one species expands its range when the other is absent, which is known as competitive release (II).
(D) Five closely related species of Warblers feeding in different locations on same tree is an example of resource partitioning (III), where species divide a niche to avoid competition.
Thus, the correct matches are:
(A) - IV
(B) - I
(C) - II
(D) - III
So, the correct option is:
Option B
A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
