Houseflies Have a Life Cycle of About 30 Days and Lay

Houseflies have a life cycle of about 30 days and lay five to six batches of 150 eggs in a few days.After a day, the eggs hatch into larvae (maggots) , which pupate and hatch into houseflies.Within two to three days, the young flies are ready to reproduce.Ants also have a four-stage life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, adult) .Only queens lay eggs, but they can lay millions (most of which become workers or males) , and they can live in the nest for decades.Workers maintain the nest; they and the males live much shorter lives.How would you compare the life cycle strategies of these two insects?

A) Both are r-strategists because they lay many eggs.
B) Both are r-strategists because they live short life spans.
C) Both are K-strategists because they reproduce more than once.
D) Houseflies show mostly r-strategies; ants show some aspects of K-strategy (stable nest environment, long-lived queen) .
E) Houseflies are completely r-strategists; ants are completely K-strategists because of the long-lived queen and the stable nest environment.
