The correct option is Option 3) Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.

Statement I, known as Gause's Competitive Exclusion Principle, is true. It states that two closely related species competing for the same resources cannot coexist indefinitely, and the competitively inferior species will be eliminated eventually.

However, Statement II is false. It is not true that carnivores are more adversely affected by competition than herbivores in general. The impact of competition on different species can vary depending on various factors such as resource availability, ecological niche, and adaptive traits.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3) Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.
