The correct answer is: B. Displacement or extinction of native species.

Invasive species often outcompete native species for resources such as food, water, and habitat, leading to the displacement or even extinction of native species. This disruption can harm the overall biodiversity of the ecosystem.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

A. Increased genetic diversity in native species: Invasive species can reduce genetic diversity in native species by causing population declines or extinctions, not increase it.
