Explanation:

• r - selected species: These species are characterized by early sexual maturity (to produce many offspring quickly) and having lots of offspring. Their strategy is to produce a large number of offspring with little parental investment.
• k - selected species: These species have a long - life expectancy (as they invest more in each offspring, which often leads to better survival and longer - term success) and a long gestation (pregnancy) period (because they invest more resources in each offspring, including a longer development time in the womb).

Answer:

• sexual maturity at a real young age: r - selected species
• long life expectancy: k - selected species
• has lots of offspring: r - selected species
• long gestation (pregnancy) period: k - selected species
