Solution
The correct option is B No
The non-living components of a living organism come together to form life. They are non-living when they are separated. In the cell, which is the smallest living entity, non living organelles work together to form life. Thus, nucleus separated from the cell is non-living. It can be called living only when it is associated with all other constituents of a cell and functions 'as a whole'.
