Answer
A
a low reproductive rate
B
big difference between original and new habitats
C
a strong predator in new habitat
D
great tolerance to a wide range of conditions

Explanation

An introduced species is more likely to become invasive if it can survive and reproduce under many different environmental conditions. Great tolerance to a wide range of conditions helps it establish in the new habitat and spread. A low reproductive rate or a strong predator would generally make invasion less likely.
