This question is incomplete as there are no graphs included to study. I think this question is referring to K-strategy and R-strategy survivorship curves. In R-strategy, many offspring are produced, but there is typically very low offspring survival as there is little or no post-birth investment from the parents. In K-strategy, few offspring are produced, but there is substantial post-birth investment by the parents into caring for the young. Therefore, the R-strategy species will tend to have the highest number of offspring.
