Why is there a trade-off between survivorship and fecundity?

a. fitness trade-offs occur because fecundity is higher in young organisms and survivorship is higher in older organisms.

b. resources such as time and energy are limited, so survivorship and fecundity cannot both be maximized simultaneously.

c. life history is shaped by natural selection in a way that maximizes survivorship and fecundity.

d. fecundity depends on survivorship. if survivorship is increasing, the fecundity also will be increasing.
