Due to climate change, places that used to be colder are now warming up, allowing new invasive species to establish themselves. What is one way that warming conditions are beneficial to invasive species?(1 point)

Warm weather allows animals to travel farther and longer because they do not need to hibernate for winter.

There is more food and shelter available since the growing season is year round.

Warming leads to longer life spans for the animals because none die due to exposure to the cold.

If the location used to be too cold for non-native species, it is now warm enough to allow them to exist.

The most fitting response is:

This highlights how warming conditions create new opportunities for invasive species to establish themselves in areas where they previously could not survive due to the cold climate.
