Context: Animals often behave in certain ways that can increase their reproductive success. Read the passage about a specific animal behavior. Then, follow the instructions below.

Amazonian poison frogs live in tropical forests in northern South America. After a male and female frog mate, the female frog lays eggs on a plant. When tadpoles hatch from the eggs, the male frog lets the tadpoles climb onto his back. The male then searches for water trapped in the spaces where plants' leaves meet their stems. He puts his tadpoles in these small pools of water.
If the male frog puts a tadpole into a pool with a larger tadpole, the smaller tadpole is often eaten. So, the male frog usually puts each tadpole into a pool of water that does not have other tadpoles in it. Each tadpole lives in its own pool until it undergoes metamorphosis to develop into a frog.

Why might putting each tadpole in its own pool of water increase the reproductive success of a male Amazonian poison frog? Complete the claim below that answers this question and is best supported by the passage.
Putting each tadpole in its own pool of water increases the chances that ().
A. the male's tadpoles will be larger when they hatch
B. the male will carry his tadpoles through the forest
C. the male's tadpoles will become adult frogs
