C

Explanation:
Interspecific competition (Choice C) refers to competition between different species for the same resources. In predator-prey relationships, the interactions are primarily based on predation and consumption of one species by another, rather than competition for the same resources. Therefore this statement is not true of predator-prey relationships, and Choice C is the correct answer.
Predator and prey living in the same ecosystem leads to density-dependent control of their populations (Choice A). As prey populations increase, predator populations may also increase due to the availability of more food. However, as predator populations increase, they put more pressure on prey populations, which can lead to a decrease in prey numbers. Choice A is therefore true of predator-prey relationships and so not the correct answer.
Negative feedback control occurs when changes in one population lead to changes in the other population that oppose the initial change. Increases in the prey population will lead to an increase in the predator population, which then causes a decrease in the prey population, leading to a redu
