Solution

The correct option is A It does not have any natural predators in such areas.
Invasive species are those that have spread outside of their natural habitat and threaten biodiversity in their new area. Eg. Lantana Camara. These can be predators for habitat and food. They spread very fast due to absence of natural predators.
