Answer 1

The correct answer is D. The native species would not have to compete for necessary resources

Step-by-step explanation:

Invasive species, which include any living organism that is not native in an ecosystem, contribute to the extinction of native species as they compete for resources such as food, shelter, etc. with native species. For example, the Asian Carp, which was introduced to lakes in the U.S. consumes plankton, which reduces the amount of plankton available for native fish. In this context, by removing invasive species native species would not have to compete for resources and their chances to extinct will fall.
