A) Interspecific competition with rock barnacles allows for both rock barnacles and stellate barnacles to inhabit the same area.
B) Interspecific competition causes the stellate barnacles to grow more slowly than they would normally.
C) Interspecific competition with rock barnacles restricts stellate barnacles to a smaller portion of the intertidal zone.
D) Interspecific competition causes the rock barnacles to grow more slowly than they would normally.
E) Intraspecific competition causes the stellate barnacles to grow more slowly than they would normally.

The figure shows that stellate barnacles are restricted to a smaller portion of the intertidal zone compared to rock barnacles. This suggests that interspecific competition with rock barnacles is limiting the distribution of stellate barnacles.
