maintain growth

D

continue the species generation after generation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Reproduction is not essential for the survival of an individual, but it is an important function of a living being as it helps an organism to perpetuate its own kind. Through this process, new individuals are produced, that grow and reproduce again, so as to continue the species generation after generation. Reproduction is a process to maintain the progeny of an organism.
