Solution

The correct option is D all of these
Lantana, Eichhornia and Parthenium are all exotic species, which had been introduced in India. Lantana camara has replaced many species in forests of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Eichhornia(water hyacinth) has clogged water bodies including wetlands resulting in the death of several aquatic plants and animals. Parthenium has pushed out several herbs and shrubs from open places in the plains.
