Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given .
Which of the following statement is false about all living things

• A. Living things must obey the laws of chemistry and physics
• B. Living things show biological organisation and other common characteristics of life
• C. Emergent properties can be used to distinguish living things from nonliving things
• D. Living things are composed only of organic elements, whereas nonliving things are made up of inorganic elements

Answer 1

The correct option is A Living things must obey the laws of chemistry and physics

Livings things have the biological organisation from the beginning of life as they can grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce. Living things have both organic elements like carbon and inorganic elements like phosphorous in their body(in humans). There are some emergent properties through which living and non-living things can be distinguished. So, the correct option is "living things must obey the laws of chemistry and physics".
