Solution

The correct option is D Lantana camara
Lantana camara is a species of flowering plant within the verbena family, Verbenaceae. It can quickly become dominant shrub, crowding out other native species and reducing biodiversity. The formation of dense thickets of Lantana camara significantly slows down the regeneration of forests by preventing the growth of new trees. That's why it is considered a weed and has invaded many forest lands of India.
So the correct answer is 'Lantana camara'.
