What is the biggest problem with invasive species in their new location?

A They are always stronger than native species.

B They evolve more quickly than native species.

C They have higher reproductive rates than native species.

D They have no population controls such as predators.

Option (C)

Explanation:

Invasive species usually refer to those species that are new to an ecosystem and cause a great impact on the native species. It also affects the ecosystem, economy and the health of human beings. Examples of some invasive species are zebra mussels, killer algae, green crab and Asian carp.

These species are much stronger than the native species and they have the ability to grow at a much faster rate, increasing their population. This increasing rate of population creates a problem for them to survive in a new location.

Thus, the most appropriate answer is option (C).

D

Explanation:

The other species had evolved to be able to survive the predators of the area over the years
