New Zealand has classified the rainbow lorikeet as an invasive species that could harm some of the country's native species. But researchers Alejandro Camacho and Jason McLachlan have pointed out that Earth's climate is changing in ways that challenge such classifications. Climate changes may force animals from their current ranges. Climate changes may also create good habitats in areas where a species couldn't live previously. These observations suggest that _________

Which choice most logically completes the text?

• A.

  New Zealand was previously home to some rainbow lorikeets but they were outcompeted by invading species.

• B.

  even if Earth's climate doesn't change in the way scientists predict, the rainbow lorikeet will likely establish itself in New Zealand.

• C.

  labels like the one that New Zealand has applied to the rainbow lorikeet reflect environmental conditions that may not persist.

• D.

  it's useful at present for New Zealand to distinguish between invasive and native species in some instances but not in the case of the rainbow lorikeet.
