The prickly pear cactus was originally imported into eastern Australia in the 18th century for gardens and was later used as natural agricultural fencing. The cactus quickly became widespread, eventually covering 101,000 sq mi (260,000 km ) of farming land in a 20 ft high jungle of cactus. Farmers were forced to leave their homes as their land was overgrown. In 1925, a moth from South America whose larvae eat the cacti was introduced. The moths eventually wiped out the cactus population, returning the land to its normal balance.According to the above information, which of the following statements is not a possible consequence of introducing a foreign moth?
The moth could have further altered the food chain by eating native plant species besides the prickly pear.
The moth could have failed to control the prickly pear cactus in this ecosystem.
The moth could have brought diseases from South America to other insect populations.
The moth could have mutated the prickly pear cactus.
