The correct answer is: C.Non-native plants compete with native plants for resources.

When non-native plants are introduced into a new habitat, they often thrive because they may not have natural predators, competitors, or diseases that control their population in the new environment.

As a result, they can quickly spread and outcompete native plants for essential resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients. This competition can reduce the availability of these resources for native plants, potentially leading to their decline or displacement.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A.Non-native plants are able to mutate rapidly: While some species can adapt or evolve over time, rapid mutation is not the primary reason non-native plants threaten native plants. The threat usually comes from the plant's ability to grow and spread faster t...
