The situation described in the question is an example of competition in ecological theory. When two groups compete for the same resources, it can lead to conflict and tension between them. This competition can occur between established groups and newcomers, as they both seek to establish themselves and maintain their quality of life. The other choices, resistance, invasion, accommodation, and assimilation, do not accurately describe the scenario presented in the question.
