Answer:

Bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacteria reproduce most quickly . Fruit flies can go from the egg to sexual maturity in 3 weeks while bacteria can reproduce once they are "born" and can do so multiple times a day, while fruit flies can reproduce if mature once every day about.

Finches and humans obviously have much slower rates of reproduction.
