Which statement best describes K-selected populations?

• A. Slow population growth at a normal exponential rate until it reaches carrying capacity. Usually found in stable/predictable environments. Individuals are usually large and produce slow-growing young that require extended parental care and have a high age of reproductive maturity.
• B. Rapid population growth overshooting carrying capacity then rapid population decrease
• C. Very small species with low energy needs and constant reproduction
• D. High mutation rates and rapid evolution
