Solution

The correct option is A True
At the molecular level even living things are fundamentally made up of all the elements that make non-living matter. There have been attempts to make these molecules and their integration to create life by scientists but none of them has been successful yet. Hence, it is often believed that there is a vital force that can not be created by us that gives organisms characteristics of life.
So, the correct option is 'True'.
