A, B, and D are "many offspring at once", and C and E are "few offspring at once".
Answer:
Few offspring at once
C. High percentage of offspring reach adulthood,
E. Parental care observed,
Many offspring at once
A. Low percentage of offspring reach adulthood,
B. limited parental involvement,
D.Rapid maturation,
Explanation:
High percentage of offspring reaching adulthood is peculiar to few offspring at once. If high percentage of offspring reach adulthood it is likely that the offspring are few and they will be well taken care of.
Parental care observed, is peculiar to few offspring at once. If the offspring experience good parental care it is likely they are few . Few organism offspring existing at once will be easier for the parent organism to carter for it.
Low percentage of offspring reaching adulthood, is peculiar to many offspring at once. With many offspring existing at once, due to competition for space and food and lack of care low percentage of offspring is likely to reach adulthood.
Limited parental involvement, is peculiar to many offspring at once. Since many offspring existed at once the competition to seek parental care among the offspring will be fierce. The parents organism won't be able to carter for it numerous offspring.
Rapid maturation, is peculiar to many offspring at once. The organism will definitely mature rapidly in order to survive. Since the offspring are many the competition among them to survive will be base on the fittest. The survival of the fittest characteristic will contribute to the rapid maturation of the offspring.
