The correct response is: **An introduced species is not necessarily harmful to the environment; an invasive species has a negative effect.**
This response accurately highlights that while introduced species are those that have been brought into an ecosystem by human activity, they do not always have harmful effects. In contrast, invasive species typically disrupt local ecosystems and can harm native species, habitats, or ecological processes.
