Solution

The correct option is A

Cocosnucifera


Sometimes due to human intervention, a species from a different ecosystem is introduced into an already established and flourishing ecosystem. These alien species tend to grow in size unchecked, since they do not become part of the food chain. This can have catastrophic effects on the ecosystem and can even destroy the biological diversity. This phenomenon is called alien species invasion.
