Mercury · Answer

old question but will respond so this can be closed

the species is *herbicide-resistant* --> it's hard to kill w/ herbicides --> its growth becomes uncontrollable. that leads us to b+c as possible solutions (a is out of the question. plants use water but they don't just absorb them like sponges and hold on to the water forever)

between B+C, which one do you think is more realistic of what is really happening?
