Question

The introduction of exotic species into an area:

• A. helps to conserve wildlife
• B. helps to protect biodiversity
• C. affects native species adversely
• D. helps native species to survive

Answer 1

The correct option is C affects native species adversely

The introduction of exotic species into an area affects the native species adversely since they might become predators, competitors, parasites, etc. of the native species. When exotic species are introduced in a new habitat, the absence of their natural predators causes them to grow unrestricted. This puts a burden on the native species.
