The statement that is not true concerning the zebra mussel in the United States would be option "D" that it can be eliminated from a river with minimal effort.

What are the zebra mussels and why should we care about them?

Zebra mussels are an invasive, fingernail-sized mollusc that is indigenous to freshwaters in Eurasia. Their name comes from the dark, zig-zagged stripes on each shell.

They probably arrive in the Great Lakes in the 1980s via ballast water that was discharged by huge ships from Europe. They have spread rapidly throughout the Great Lakes region and into the large rivers of the eastern Mississippi drainage. .

Thus, option "D" can be eliminated from a river with minimal effort.
