Why are cane toads in Australia considered an invasive species rather than simply nonnative?

A species is considered invasive when it spreads beyond its native range and causes harm to the local ecosystem, rather than merely living outside its original range. Cane toads harm native species, and their lack of natural predators in Australia helps them spread; this matches choice A, “They are destructive to native species and have no natural predators.”
