Solution

The correct option is D Both a) and b)
Although reproduction is a characteristic of living organisms, not all are fertile and comply to that trait. Sterility (inability of reproduction) is seen among many living things and hence does not comply with that characteristic.

Both mules and the worker bees are sterile by nature and hence do not comply with the characteristic that all living things reproduce.
