The correct answer is:
D

• Metabolism refers to all chemical reactions in an organism that maintain life, including anabolism (building up) and catabolism (breaking down).

• All living organisms—plants, animals, fungi, and microbes (bacteria, protists, etc.)—perform metabolism.

It is not limited to plants or animals; microbes also metabolize to obtain energy and grow.
