Answer:

D) GMO crops become invasive and take over the habitat of indigenous crops.

Explanation:

A "Genetically Modified Organism (OMG)" is any organism whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally. Over 95% of all commercially grown transgenic plants belong to four species: soybean, corn, cotton, rapeseed and rice. While there are many advantages to using OMGs in agriculture, there are also disadvantages that have caused many controversies about this technology around the world.

One of the disadvantages that can be cited is that OMG crops can become evasive and take over indigenous and family acriculture land.

This is because whenever there is genetic contamination of conventional crops by transgenic pollen grains, these crops become transgenic and the companies responsible for the manufacture of transgenic seeds have the 'right' to own agricultural land (often indigenous land). because now it became his seeds that constituted the agricultural fields, and the owner, in addition to being without his crops, is still liable to pay compensation for having 'used' seeds that were not his own.

Komok [63]

The mentioned case represents secondary succession.  

Secondary succession is one of the two kinds of ecological succession of plant life. Secondary succession refers to a procedure initiated by an incident, like harvesting, forest fire, hurricane, and others, which minimizes an already settled ecosystem to a lesser population of species.  

Thus, it can be said that the secondary succession takes place in preexisting soil on the other hand primary succession takes place in a place devoid of soil.  

Secondary succession is the ecological succession, which takes place after the initial succession has been disrupted and certain plant and animal species do prevail. It is usually faster in comparison to primary succession.
