Commensalism benefits one species while having no effect on the other, making the given statement incorrect.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 11: Organisms and Populations Population Interactions - Parasitism and Commensalism
“Range of niche dimensions occupied” for niche breadth is defined as. This relationship follows from the ecological mechanism represented by the terms in the item, not merely from an association between their names. A niche is the multidimensional set of abiotic conditions, resources, and biotic relationships under which a population can persist. The fundamental niche reflects physiological and resource limits, while the realized niche is modified by competitors, consumers, mutualists, and dispersal barriers. The remaining alternatives—“Complete niche overlap”, “Only food resource utilization”, “Spatial distribution only”—refer to different states, processes, or scales and therefore do not express the same causal relationship. Niche differentiation reduces overlap by separating species along resource, space, or time axes. Such partitioning can stabilize coexistence when each species performs relatively better under the conditions it uses most strongly. Field observations could test this account by measuring the proposed driver and the demographic or ecosystem response while controlling plausible confounding factors.
