Correct option is C
Explanation-
Statement A - In inhibition model, strong competitive interaction is present as no species is completely superior.
Correct — This aligns with the inhibition model where earlier species prevent or slow the establishment of later species via competition.
Statement B -In tolerance model, later successional species are neither inhibited nor aided by species of previous stages.
Correct — This is the defining feature of the tolerance model; species that appear later are more tolerant of limiting conditions and can grow regardless of earlier species.
Statement C - In inhibition model, competitive interaction is weak as no species is completely superior.
Incorrect — This contradicts the essence of the inhibition model, where competition is usually strong.
Statement D - In facilitation model, later successional species are neither inhibited nor aided by species of previous stages.
Incorrect — In the facilitation model, earlier species aid the establishment of later species, not remain neutral.
Correct statements: A and B
