In early spring, many wildflowers begin to grow,
produce flowers, and release seeds. the leaves
of the wildflowers make food before the leaves
of the trees in the area begin to develop. the
early growth pattern of the wildflowers would
likely result in
(1) decreased competition for sunlight between
the trees and the wildflowers
(2) decreased competition for suitable temperature
between the trees and the wildflowers
(3) increased competition for space between the
trees and the wildflowers
(4) increased competition for oxygen between
the trees and the wildflowers
