Answer:

The correct option is B. It would  harm the ecosystem since the plants would compete with native plants for water, sunlight, and space.

Explanation:

An invasive plant can be described as a plant species which is not native to an area and when it is introduced in an area it can have devastating effects on that ecosystem. The invasive plant species won't have any predators in that area so their population might grow enormously. The invasive plant will compete with the native plants for food and other resources. Hence, it will cause the population of the native species to decline.
