Answer: C - introduction of an unchecked invasive species.

E- massive flooding.

Explanation:

The catastrophic event can be define as the event which can cause huge damage to the living and non-living factors of the ecosystem. It can make the environment unsuitable for the survival of the living beings and can become the cause of mass extinction.

C is the correct option because the introduction of invasive species can reduce the population of members of the native species if the invasive species compete with the native species for resources.

E is the correct option because the massive flood will wiped out the living beings and can destroy the landscape and property of the region where it occurs.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

State anxiety is the actual experience of apprehension and uncontrolled arousal and trait anxiety is a personality characteristic, which represents a latent disposition to perceive situations as threatening.

Explanation:

State anxiety: It is basically a "right now" feeling which changes from moment to moment, manifesting itself as an interruption of an individual's emotion state, leading to a sudden superversion of emotional equilibrium, caused by external factors of current state. e.g An atheletes emotional state at any given time that is variable from situation to situation.

Trait anxiety: It is a personality disposition which is stable over time. e.g An atheletes disposition to interpreting a situation as threatning and responding with an increase in state anxiety.
