The correct answer is B. Iteroparity

Step-by-step explanation:

In biology, there are mainly two types of reproductive strategies or types of reproductive episodes. The first one is called semelparity and this occurs in certain plants and spiders that have only one reproductive episode during their lifetime. The second reproductive strategy is iteroparity which occurs in most mammals that have multiple reproductive episodes and not only one episode. Additionally, each of these regulates in different ways the population of species. Considering this, the concept that is linked to multiple reproductive episodes during a species' lifetime is iteroparity.
