Question

____ plants and animals are local to an area.

a. invasive

b. native

c. introduced

d. all of the above

e. only a and c

f. only b and c

g. only c and a

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Invasive species are non - native and spread aggressively, so they are not local.
• Native species are those that naturally occur (are local) to an area.
• Introduced species are brought in (not local originally).

So only “Native” (option b) refers to organisms local to an area.

Answer:

b. Native
