• Some animal groups like mammals produce less number of offspring. They, spend a large amount of time caring for their offspring that increases the chances of their survival.
• Some other animal groups like amphibians do not look upon their offspring after they are born. So, a large number of offspring are produced to increase the chances of survival.
• So, correct option is 'Produce many offspring'.
