Solution

The correct option is A

Dandeli


Japanese Kudzu vine is an example of alien species invasion. The vine was introduced in the southeast United States, where it went on to grow unchecked. It soon covered all plants and blocked all sunlight available for the plants. This happened because the natural predator for the vine was absent in the new ecosystem and therefore, there was no means to keep a control on the growth of these vines.
