Coreect option (a)

Different life cycle strategies are displayed by organisms to increase the likelihood of successful reproduction in a given environment. The variety of qualities that organisms display, such as the frequency and number of offspring, age at maturity, and lifespan, are referred to as life history strategies.

Different life history methods are required by various environmental factors. 

For Example, in habitats with a high danger of predation, organisms may use fast life cycle strategies, in which they reach maturity quickly, and generate a large number of young, but have shorter lives.

 In contrast, in habitats where there is little risk of predation, organisms may adopt slow life cycle strategies, in which they reach maturity later, have fewer young, and live longer.

Maximizing an organism's reproductive success in its particular environment is the ultimate goal of life history strategies. Organisms can maximize their chances of passing on their genes to the next generation by putting effort and resources into the qualities that will best enable them to survive and reproduce in their environment.

Option a is the correct answer.
