The most suitable response is:
**It ensures that at least a few individuals will survive to pass on their traits.**
This option highlights the advantage of high reproduction rates in increasing the likelihood that some offspring will survive to maturity and reproduce, thereby ensuring the continuation of the species despite environmental challenges or predation.
