C)	Produce large batches of young several times during their early life

D)	Produce one large batch of young and die

Answer 1

The false statements about the K selected species is that they give birth to the young ones only once in their lifetime. Father the give rise to a few offspringa only because of living in an environment close to ita carrying capacity.

Option C is correct.

An organism's life history, consists of how an organism allocates resources to growth, reproduction and survival.

If the organiam uses the resources efficiently then its rate of re production would also be high.

Organisms with semelparous life history would produce one large batch of young ones and then die.

I.e they will reproduce only once in their life time.

Option D is correct.
