Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
A cell is a mass of protoplasm (cytoplasm + nucleus) which is surrounded by a protective and semi-permeable plasma membrane that separates the cell contents from the environment.
The body of all organisms is made up of cells so it is the structural unit of life.
Also, all the physiological, biochemical, and genetic functions of the body are carried out by cells, so, it is called a functional unit of life.
So, the correct answer is option D.
