Answer:

Option C, Chimpanzees reproduce more slowly.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an asexual mode of reproduction, large number of spores or buds is formed and it does not require any complex procedure of cell division.

Sexual reproduction is faster than asexual mode of reproduction and generally requires double the time as required by asexual reproduction. The major time in sexual reproduction is spent on chromosome separation and replication. Along with this, number of offspring produced by sexual mode of reproduction is lesser in number and is also genetically diverse species.

As a result, asexual reproduction is faster than that of sexual reproduction. Therefore chimpanzees will produce slowly. :)

Hope it helps answer the question:)
