Which of the following statements about the selection pressure is incorrect?

a.If survival of juveniles and adult is poor then selection favours a single act of reproduction

b.If survival of juveniles and adult is poor and unpredictable then selection favours repeated reproduction and long reproductive life

c.If the environment is stable then selection favours a single act of reproduction.

d.If survival of juveniles is very poor and unpredictable but adult are more likely to survive then selection favours repeated reproduction and long reproductive life

e.If survival of adult is unpredictable but juveniles are more likely to survive then selection favours a single act of reproduction
