Exotic species can spread easily primarily because **they have few limiting factors**. When an exotic species is introduced to a new environment, it often lacks natural predators, diseases, or competitors that would normally keep its population in check in its native habitat. This absence of limiting factors allows the exotic species to proliferate rapidly and occupy ecological niches effectively.
While other options you mentioned may have some relevance in specific contexts, the key reason for the ease of spread of exotic species lies in their ability to thrive in new environments without the usual checks and balances found in their native ecosystems.
