Question

All living organisms can be definitely separated from the non-living things on the basis of their ability for

• A. responsiveness to touch
• B. interaction with the environment and progressive evolution
• C. reproduction
• D. growth and movement

Answer 1

The correct option is B interaction with the environment and progressive evolution

Living organisms have evolved through time based on several factors which also includes environmental factors.

Reproduction is not shown by worker honey bees which are living organisms.

All living organisms do not respond to touch.

Growth in non-living things can happen as an increase in size or mass. Eg: Crystallization of salts in chemical reactions or the formation of mountains.

Movement is seen in the flow of a water in a river.

Therefore, all living organisms can be definitely separated from the non-living things on the basis of their ability for interaction with the environment and progressive evolution.
