The correct response is:
An introduced species is not necessarily harmful to the environment; an invasive species has a negative effect.
This definition captures the distinction, indicating that while an introduced species may be brought into a new ecosystem, it does not automatically disrupt it, whereas an invasive species creates negative impacts on the environment, economy, or human health.
