Difficult

A

Large number of progeny with small size
B

Large number of progeny with large size
C

Solution

The two strategies to enable populations to approach the carrying capacity are i) r- selection and ii) k-selection.
In r-selection large number of offspring is produced with small size.
In k-selection organisms are large in size but with small number of progeny, increasing the selective advantages of the offspring.
