Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

All organisms show the property of self-consciousness — Incorrect

Self-consciousness means awareness of oneself (thinking about “I” or “me”).

This is not present in all organisms.

Only humans show true self-consciousness at a high level.

Many living organisms (plants, bacteria, etc.) are conscious but not self-conscious.

(e) Prokaryotes cannot sense and respond to the environment — Incorrect

Prokaryotes (like bacteria) do sense and respond to environmental changes.

Example:

Bacteria move toward food (chemotaxis).

They respond to light, temperature, chemicals, etc.

So, saying they cannot respond is wrong.
