Question

Which of the following is an example of r-selected organism?  
A) Coconut palm
B) Flies
C) Elephants
D) Humans
E) Horses

Accepted Answer

r-selected organisms are characterized by producing many offspring, having short lifespans, and minimal parental care. Flies fit this description as they produce a large number of eggs, have a short lifespan, and do not provide parental care to their offspring. Coconut palms, elephants, humans, and horses do not fit this description and are considered k-selected organisms.
