Answer: The amount of time parents spend raising their children decreases with increasing fecundity

Step-by-step explanation:

Fecundity is the capacity to have children. It may also be used to characterize an organism's rate of reproduction. The level of parental care provided is frequently correlated with the number of offspring produced. Generally speaking, the amount of time parents spend raising their children decreases with increasing fecundity. Animals can only use a finite amount of energy for reproduction.
