A. fecundity

the maximal potential reproductive capacity of an individual in a population

B. semelparity

C. iteroparity

species that reproduce multiple times over their lifespan

D. life history

inherited pattern of resource allocation under the influence of natural selection and other evolutionary forces

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

the answer is c. it will give up it's valence electron to the other atom.
