Question

in a ______ selected species the population growth is controlled by density - dependent factors. a f b k c h d r

Explanation:

In population ecology, K - selected species have population growth controlled by density - dependent factors. These species typically have fewer offspring, longer life - spans, and invest more in parental care. Density - dependent factors such as competition for resources, predation, and disease become more significant as population density increases. R - selected species, on the other hand, are controlled more by density - independent factors. F, H are not relevant in this context.

Answer:

b. K
