Question

1. what is the definition of \invasive species\?

snakes have been removed from the wild
robots meant to lure the giant snakes out of their hiding spots
to eliminate as many pythons as possible from the everglades
they are not native to the area and can harm the environment
question 14

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the options based on the concept of invasive species (non - native species that harm the environment):

Option 1: "snakes have been removed from the wild"

This is about removing snakes, not defining invasive species. Invasive species are about their presence and impact, not removal. So this is incorrect.

Option 2: "robots meant to lure the giant snakes out of their hiding spots"

This is about robots used to catch snakes, not related to the definition of invasive species. So this is incorrect.

Option 3: "to eliminate as many pythons as possible from the Everglades"

This is a method to control invasive pythons, not the definition of what an invasive species is. So this is incorrect.

Option 4: "they are not native to the area and can harm the environment"

Invasive species are non - native (introduced to an area where they didn't originally belong) and cause harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health. This option matches the key aspects of the definition of invasive species.

We evaluate each option against the definition of invasive species (non - native and harmful to the environment). Option 4 aligns with this definition, while others relate to snake removal, robot use, or control methods, not the definition.

Answer:

1. they are not native to the area and can harm the environment
