Gilbert Yang · Answer 1

d. low rates of offspring survival

Explanation:

"Big-bang" reproduction also called semelparity is reproductive strategy in which only one single reproductive event happens during the lifetime of an organism. Usually after that reproduction, death of parents occur. This happens because "parents" put all available resources into maximizing reproduction. Many offspring are produced during this type of reproduction.
