the majority dont even survive to adulthood
they have few offspring with great parents
they all have a very low reproductive rate
most of the few offspring reach adulthood

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the answer, we analyze r - selected species traits:

  • R - selected species produce many offspring but provide little parental care. So, most offspring don't survive to adulthood.
  • The option "They have few offspring with great parents" is incorrect as r - selected species have many offspring and little parental care.
  • "They all have a very low reproductive rate" is wrong because r - selected species have high reproductive rates.
  • "Most of the few offspring reach adulthood" is incorrect as r - selected species have many offspring, and most don't survive.

Answer:

The majority don't even survive to adulthood
