Solution

The correct option is D Large number of progeny with small size
In r selected species the populations have a large number of offsprings while in k-selected species, the populations have a small number of offsprings. However, the offspring size in k-selected species is larger than that of r-selected species.
So, the correct option is 'Large number of progeny with small size'.
