Solution
The correct option is D Early maturity
Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. It is the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations. Natural selection has produced a gradation of strategies, with extreme r-selection at one end of the spectrum and extreme K-selection at the other end. Early maturity occurs in the r selection, small size of organisms are produced and each individual reproduces only once. So the correct answer is 'Early maturity'.
