C. There is differential rep.
Organisms that are constantly exposed to dangers, which can kill them in mass, have evolved to reproduce in high numbers so that enough of a species will survive and continue the species. Survival of the fittest and natural selection is a common practice among organisms that reproduce fast and in high numbers.
A group of organisms that can reproduce and create viable offspring is called a species.
Natural selection requires variation in traits within a population, heredity to pass on these traits to offspring, and differential reproductive success based on these traits, leading to some individuals having more offspring with the advantageous traits.
Differential reproduction
Variation: Individuals within a population have differences in traits. Heritability: Some of these traits are inherited by offspring. Differential survival and reproduction: Individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, advantageous traits become more prevalent in the population.

Differential reproduction
differential reproduction
1. Overproduction - more offspring are born than survive 2. Genetic Variation - there is variation in the population 3. Struggle to Survive - organisms with suitable variations will survive and reproduce 4. Differential Reproduction - suitable variations are passed on to offspring

Differential reproduction
The main way individuals are added to the population (with animals) is the birth of new offspring.
