Solution
The correct option is D biocontrol
Biocontrol is the use of living organisms, such as insects or pathogens, to control pest populations. It introduces specialist natural enemies that help control the invasive species in its native range. The aim of biocontrol is not to eradicate the invasive species, but control it in a way that it becomes manageable. In other words, the method uses nature’s own in-built mechanisms to ensure equilibrium.
