Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which one of the following is not a characteristic of animals?

• A. Heterotrophic
• B. Diplontic life cycle
• C. Have contracting fibres
• D. Single cells or colonial

Answer 1

The correct option is D Single cells or colonial

All animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, and most animals have complex tissue structure with differentiated and specialized tissue. Animals are heterotrophs; they must consume living or dead organisms since they cannot synthesize their own food and can be carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, or parasites.

So, the correct option is 'Single cells or colonial'.
