Answer 1

All are neither threatened nor indigenous species of India.

Explanation:

Exotic species include lantana, Eichhornia, and African catfish. Non-native or exotic species are frequently introduced unintentionally for economic or other reasons. They frequently become invasive and drive out native species. These species are thought to be the second leading cause of species loss. Both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems have been harmed by exotic species.
