D. They have longer life spans.

Explanation:

The species described as K-strategist have organisms with large body sizes. They exhibit slow development and have a long life span. These species attain reproductive maturity once the growth phase is complete. These species do not spend a large proportion of their metabolic energy on the production of offspring and do not produce a large number of offspring. They are found in the regions of relatively stable environments. Example: Redwood trees.
