Answer:

A. They can outcompete native species.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that ALL species need an ecosystem they can easily adapt in to survive, especially invasive ones. Adaptation is a heritable trait that helps organisms adjust to new changes in their environment.

Invasive species can compete with native organisms for resources, cause extinctions, reduce biodiversity, and disrupt ecosystem processes. They can also threaten, or even prevent human use of the resources in the ecosystem.

In order for an invasive species to be successful in their new environment, they need to be able to reproduce and grow rapidly to take over quickly.

Hope this helps!
