Invasive species thrive in stressed ecosystems like those with warmer temperatures.

Invasive species are more easy to introduce to a stressed ecosystem.

Answer 1

The correct response is: Invasive species thrive in stressed ecosystems like those with warmer temperatures.

This is an issue because increased temperatures and other environmental changes can weaken native species, making it easier for invasive species to establish themselves, outcompete native organisms, and disrupt the overall balance of the ecosystem.
