Correct answer: Is an invasive species.
Explanation: The passage says kudzu spread and outcompeted native plants, which is the definition of an invasive species. The other statements contradict the passage: it was brought to help people (so it did benefit mankind) and "served its purpose" (so it does grow well in the U.S.); nothing in the passage indicates it is an indicator species.
