Gause's competitive exclusion principle states that if two species attempt to occupy the same niche, with limited resources, one of them will be more successful and outcompete the other, leading to the other species becoming extinct. This means that the best choice is D, "extinct". The other choices, such as commensalism, symbiosis, predation, or parasitism involve a more complex relationship between the two species and are not the direct outcome of competitive exclusion.
