The correct option is D All of the above
A pest is an organism with characteristics of damaging or harming its surrounding environment, as it harms agriculture through feeding on crops or parasitizing livestock.
An animal can also be a pest when it causes damage to a wild ecosystem or carries germs. The term pest is used to refer specifically to harmful animals but it also relates to all other harmful organisms, including fungi and viruses. It is possible for an animal to be a pest in one setting but beneficial or domesticated in another.
