Question

non - native species are not from an area. this means that they do not have any natural competitors or predators in the area. why is this a problem? they typically die very quickly. they can out - compete native species.

Explanation:

Non - native species without natural competitors/predators in a new area can grow and reproduce freely. Native species have to compete with them for resources like food, space, etc. Since non - native species don't have the natural checks, they can out - compete native species. The first option is wrong as non - native species often thrive without natural controls, not die quickly.

Answer:

They can out - compete native species.
