GIVING BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!! (and the rest of my points)
The Himalayan balsam plant makes seeds in pods and releases them when it is ready, while the Surinam toad absorbs its eggs into its own back until they are ready to come out. How are the adaptations of the balsam and the toad similar?

A. They are behaviors that allow the plant and the animal to reproduce through shorter life cycles.
B. They are behaviors that protect the plant and the animal from predators.
C. They are life cycle differences that protect the offspring and help them to survive.
D. They are physical characteristics that allow the offspring to survive in cold weather conditions.

They are life cycle differences that protect the offspring and help them to survive. The correct option is C.

Life cycle adaption

Some organisms have life cycle features that ensure that their population is perpetuated in subsequent generations.

Such features include ensuring that propagules are only released when they are mature and making sure that eggs are hatched and offspring become viable before they are allowed to move to the environment.

These actions will make sure that the propagules of offspring have what it takes to survive in their new environment.

In other words, these life cycle features are embedded in the genome of organisms as a way to survive the environment.

Thus, the features of the Himalayan balsam plant and that of the Surinam toad are more or less targeted toward the same thing - the survival of their offspring.
