Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

Metabolism, the ability to sense the environment, and cellular organization are essential processes for defining living organisms. Reproduction and growth are not defining processes of living organisms. For example, some organisms like mules or sterile worker bees cannot reproduce, and non-living things can exhibit growth, such as mountains, boulders and sand mounds.
