Question

Which of the following is a criterion for classification of living organisms?

• A. Body design of the organism
• B. Ability to obtain food
• C. Membrane bound nucleus and cell organelles
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Living organisms are classified based on their body designs as asymmetrical, bilaterally or radially symmetrical. They are also broadly classified as autotrophs, heterotrophs, and saprotrophs based on the nutritional modes. They are called as eukaryotes and prokaryotes based on the presence and absence of a membrane-bound nucleus and cell organelles, respectively. So, the correct answer is option D.
