Answer 1

I think it is 'introducing invasive species'

Answer 2

Answer: b. Introducing invasive species

Step-by-step explanation:

Biodiversity can be define as the variability or variety existing in the ecosystem in terms of the life forms. It measures the variability in the levels of species, genetic and ecosystem.

The introduction of the invasive species is the correct option. Invasive species is the one which is introduced in the new environment intentionally or accidentally. This species competes with the native species for resources like mates, food, water and habitat. As a result of this the population of the native species is likely to decrease and can even extinct.

Thus the introduction of the invasive species does not generally have the effect of increasing biodiversity.
