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

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 decreased competition for sunlight between the trees and the wildflowers (1). There is a good reason why the wildflowers grow so much earlier than the trees. If they start growing at the same time in spring, then the tree leaves will block out the sun for the wildflowers.
