Detailed explanation-1: -Type II: Parents produce moderate numbers of offspring and provide some parental care. Deaths occur more uniformly throughout life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Type I survivorship curves represent populations whose organisms tend to survive beyond their young and middle-ages and die when they become elderly. These organisms usually have small numbers of offspring and provide lots of parental care to make sure those offspring survive.

Detailed explanation-3: -life tables any age, shown by the Type II survivorship curve, is evident as a straight line with a constant slope that decreases over time toward zero. Certain lizards, perching birds, and rodents exhibit this type of survivorship curve.

Detailed explanation-4: -A type III survivorship curve depicts species where few individuals will live to adulthood and die as they get older because the greatest mortality for these individuals is experienced early in life. This type of survivorship curve is drawn as a concave curve on a graph.

Detailed explanation-5: -Type II survivorship curves exhibit relatively constant survivorship and mortality throughout different age groups and therefore are not r-selected or K-selected, but instead somewhat in the middle of the continuum between the two.
