Can anyone say under which category does semelparity and iteroparity comes ?
Many plant and animal species have life histories characterized by death after first reproduction. This is called semelparity, and its alternative (living to reproduce repeatedly) is called iteroparity. In plants, the terms monocarpy and polycarpy are sometimes used instead of semelparity and iteroparity.

Answer:
Semelparity and iteroparity are not, strictly speaking, alternative strategies, but extremes along a continuum of possible modes of reproduction. Many organisms considered to be semelparous can, under certain conditions, separate their single bout of reproduction into two or more episodes.
