Gretchen Carr · Answer 1

I would choose C.

A isn't the best of option because it does not directly mention fresh vs. salt water.

B does not make sense because it is discussing introduced species not native ones.

And D literally just has no relevance.

I would go with C because it is literally drawing attention to introduced species because of dumping ballast waters.
