The correct answer is: C.By disrupting the balance of prey and predator populations.

Invasive species can disrupt the food chain by outcompeting native species for resources, introducing new predators, or becoming new prey themselves. This disrupts the natural balance between predators and prey, leading to negative effects on the ecosystem.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

A.By providing new food sources for native predators: While invasive species might offer new food sources, they often cause more harm by outcompeting or preying on native species.
