What characterizes a migratory pest?

A pest that stays in one place and causes continuous damage
A pest that is beneficial to the ecosystem
A pest that causes damage only under specific conditions
A pest that may cause serious economic damage on a periodic basis

The correct answer is: A pest that may cause serious economic damage on a periodic basis

A migratory pest is one that moves from place to place, causing damage in different locations. Option A is incorrect because a migratory pest, by definition, does not stay in one place. Option B is incorrect because a pest that is beneficial to the ecosystem is typically not considered a pest. Option C is incorrect because a migratory pest can cause damage in different locations, not just under specific conditions. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it accurately describes the behavior of a migratory pest.
