I think that the synchrony part does mirror the passage, but a few sentences after the part that we are asked to consider for this questions. C is saying that they can lay eggs at the same time, in rhythm with each other. D is saying that they reproduce at the same rate. It's possible to be in synchrony (e.g. laying eggs once a weak every November) but to reproduce at different rates (e.g. one lays one egg per week, and the other lays 5 eggs per week).
