Question

type i (k - strategists)
number of survivors
type ii
type iii (r - strategists)
age (percent of lifespan)
which type of survivorship curve involves only having a few offspring that typically survive into adulthood?
type 3
type 1

Explanation:

Survivorship curves: Type I (K - strategists) have few offspring with high survival to adulthood (parental care, e.g., humans). Type II has constant survival rate. Type III (r - strategists) have many offspring, low early survival. The question asks for few offspring that survive to adulthood, matching Type I? Wait, no—wait, correction: Wait, K - strategists (Type I) produce few offspring but invest in them, so most survive to adulthood. Wait, the question says "only having a few offspring that typically survive into adulthood"—so Type I (K - strategists) do that. Wait, but the options have "Type 1" (labeled as Type I in the graph). Let's recheck: Type I (K - strategists) curve shows high survival early, few offspring, most survive to adult. Type III: many offspring, few survive early. So the correct answer is Type 1 (Type I) because they have few offspring that survive to adulthood.

Answer:

Type 1
