Answer:

An r-selected species typically d. has an advantage in habitats that experience unpredictable disturbances.

Explanation:

R-selected species have a defining characteristic which is the production of numerous small offspring followed by exponential population growth. R-selected species have an advantage in habitats that experience unpredictable disturbances. This is an evolutionary strategy which enables them to make many "cheap" offspring. In this cause, opposite to what happens with K-selected species, many offspring are produced, with early maturity and short life expectancy.
