Answer 1

The best response regarding how warming conditions are beneficial to invasive species is:

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

This response directly addresses how climate change creates new opportunities for invasive species to thrive in previously inhospitable environments.
