Solution

The correct option is A first reproduction
Fisher defined the reproductive value of individuals of a given age as their expected contribution to future population growth. It is highest just before first reproduction as with subsequent reproduction and increase of age, there's a decrease in the chances of individual contributing to future population.
So, the correct option is 'first reproduction'.
