Question

invasive species usually reproduce very quickly and are generalists, meaning that they are not picky in their choice of food or shelter. given these characteristics, which of the following is true?
most endangered species are also invasive species.
all endangered species are invasive species.
very few endangered species are also invasive species.

Explanation:

Invasive species reproduce quickly and are generalists (not picky about food/shelter), so they tend to thrive and outcompete native species. Endangered species are at risk of extinction, often due to being specialists (needing specific resources) or facing threats like habitat loss. Since invasive species' traits (rapid reproduction, generalist) contrast with what makes species endangered, very few endangered species would also be invasive. The first two options (most/all endangered are invasive) contradict the traits of endangered species.

Answer:

C. VERY FEW endangered species are also invasive species.
