A.A licence is required to cultivate that plant.
D.Such a plant is invasive and harmful to the ecosystem.
C.It is a Genetically Modified crop plant.
Correct Answer: Option A

As per the Act, no person shall cultivate a specified plant listed under Schedule VI without a license granted by the Chief Wildlife Warden or an officer authorized by the State Government.
The license specifies the area and conditions under which the plant can be cultivated.
Therefore, a license is required to cultivate a plant species placed under Schedule VI of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
