C
Corn leaf aphids invaded the crop and caused damage to the plants.
D
Sheila tried to evade the private party by bribing the security guard.

Explanation

“Invade” means to enter or spread into a place, often causing harm. Corn leaf aphids entered the crop and damaged the plants, so “invaded” is used correctly. In A and B, “evade” and “invade” are mixed up; in D, “evade the private party” does not fit the intended meaning of avoiding security.
