Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Invasive species are the non-native species in a particular area, society or environment causing more havoc than good. Invasive species are introduced into the environment through many means which might be intentional and which might not.

One of the reason behind the presence of invasive species in Georgia is to augment the native specie present in Georgia at that time for instance, one of the invasive species mentioned in the question that is "kudzu" was introduced to the environment in Georgia as specie for controlling erosion.

Although some invasive species were introduced into Georgia by mistake, some invasive species were also introduce because of the need for new Specie in the environment.
