Answer
Arabidopsis thaliana or the thale cress plants are mostly follows the type III survivorship. In this type of survivorship the it first decreases, then increases rapidly. Hence option (c) is the correct answer.
Work Step by Step
Thale cress plants, Arabidopsis thaliana shows the type III survivorship. A pattern is observed where an extremely high death rate is observed initially, however, high survival rates are shown in the later stages of the life cycle. Many plants and insects are known to show this type of survival. In the early stages, a steep drop is seen in the survival, for example, the failure of the survival of many seeds at an early stage.
