Solution

The correct option is C Oceanic island communities
Oceanic island communities are more vulnerable to invasion by outside animals and plants than those of main lands. These islands include high volcanic-based islands like Hawaii and low coral islands like Marshalls. These areas are susceptible to invader impacts. This is due to lack of natural competitors and predators which control populations in the ecosystems.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Oceanic island commuities.'
