Answer:

A To increase survival rate of generations

Step-by-step explanation:

Many organisms are faced by the challenge of predators and harsh environmental factors in their habitat.

This implies that, not all the offspring in a generation will survive and reproduce more offspring.

Hence, the larger the number of offspring produced, the greater the chances that a larger number of organisms will survive long enough to reproduce. For this reason, many organisms produce thousands of offspring.
