Answer 2

Hello there!

Here are the options or choices for your question:

A) storms that uproot large trees in the area

B) introduction of a non-native animal species

C) seasonal migration of birds to and from the ecosystem

D) flash floods that destroy the nests of local water birds

The answer is B) introduction of non-native animal species.

Non-native animal species are potential invasive species, which when released into a local ecosystem, are highly likely to cause long-term instability  (e.g. environmental harm, health problems) to the ecosystem.

Non-native animal species compete with the native animal species (e.g. territory, food resources) and in cases where the non-native animal species are more adapted to survive compared to the native species, the non-native animal species may drive the native animals to extinction.

I hope this will help you!
