E) Sea urchins spawn multiple times each season and produce millions of offspring each time they spawn.

Answer 1

Humans produce few offspring throughout multiple reproductive episodes.

Explanation:

According to the prediction of Life history theory that organisms are capable to increase their fitness who is either by producing many offspring or by producing fewer and also high-quality offspring. Offspring investment is extended by human but some it is obscured by their cultural mechanism.  

In human species the quality and quantity doubt has been empirically shown in the species which produce litters or clutches, where their litter size is large which leads the small offspring size and their growth rate became slow and due to this their survival is getting reduced.

The Comparative analyses also help a negative and the inter-specific relationship between their reproductive rate and their offspring size
