If a plant were introduced to an environment,

Answer:

D. all of these

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because all of the above are TRUE.

A. The plant may compete with other plants for light.

It feels like Plants and Trees are just stuff growing, but they actually compete with other plants, some don't do that much, but some do that, so that new plant may do it to get more light and might put more shade on other plants, which is dangerous for other plants.

B. The plant may become another food source for animals.

This is pretty normal, I mean, the thing here is that any plant is vulnerable to being eaten by an animal.

C. The plant may be poisonous and harmful to animals.

Yeah, like in choice B, the same thing, the plants are always Vulnerable to be eaten by hungry animals, and if an animal eats it... then it might get a disease or might just die.

So if these are all correct, then the answer HAS to be D. All of these
