Multiple Choice

Refer to the table.
Refer to the table.   Similar to Tilman's studies of coexistence using diatoms, a research team is now examining competitive outcomes between two species of bacteria, A and B, which vary in how they use silica and phosphorus. The team manipulated both silica and phosphorus and examined whether bacteria A or bacteria B won the competition, or whether there was co-existence between the two species (denoted as outcome C) . The results are shown in the table. From these results, the team concludes that A)  A only outcompeted B at high phosphorus levels. B)  A always outcompeted B when silica and phosphorus levels were equal. C)  A always outcompeted B at low silica levels. D)  A always outcompeted B at low phosphorus levels.
