It has to be a A since all the options are marked A! :lol:

No perfect choice. Use of threat...for elliminates B,D. C is just not right.
A vs E. I'd eliminate E. So A.

According to some botanists, invasive plants are the second most serious threat, after habitat loss,
to native species of plants and animals and to the maintenance of biologically diverse ecosystems.

A. threat, after habitat loss, to native species of plants and animals and to the maintenance of
biologically diverse ecosystems

B. threat, after habitat loss, to native species of plants and animals and for maintaining biologically
diverse ecosystems -> parallelism issue

C. threat, after losing their habitat, to native species of plants and animals and also to maintenance
of biologically diverse ecosystems-> the first threat is habitat loss , second is invasive plants; after losing changes meaning

D. threat to native species of plants and animals and for maintaining biologically diverse
ecosystems, after habitat loss-> threat to - for maintaining not parallel

E. threat to native species of plants and animals as well as to maintaining biologically diverse
ecosystems, after losing their habitat -> to maintain is correct

so ans: A
