Which of the following examples poses the greatest potential threat to biodiversity?

A) releasing sterilized rainbow trout to boost the sport fishing of a river system that contains native brook trout
B) allowing previously used farmland to go fallow and begin to fill in with weeds and then shrubs and saplings
C) replanting, after a clear cut, a monoculture of Douglas fir trees on land that consisted of old-growth Douglas fir, western cedar, and western hemlock
D) trapping and relocating large predators, such as mountain lions, that pose a threat as they move into areas of relatively dense human populations
E) importing an Asian insect into the United States to control a weed that competes with staple crops

E is my guess.  Invasive or introduced species can do tremendous damage.  C is the only other choice that seemed even remotely appealing, but you already had the damage from the clear cut so I don't think that could compare to the potential of an introduced species.  Ask Australia about those cane toads and rabbits Slight Smile
