Solution

The correct option is C It gives an idea if the organism follows K or R strategy of growth
A survivorship curve is obtained by plotting the age of organism on one axis and the number of survivors on the other axis. The graph will give a distinctive curve, based on the data points. Looking at this curve we can infer if the organism follows the K or the R strategy of growth.
