Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a new environment, a invasive species is not included in the natural niche yet and doesn't have any natural predators. In turn, this would cause the environment to bloom with these fish, along with different sub-species of this fish due to evolution and natural selection that would occur over the time it is an inhabitant.
