Solution

The correct option is C. All living cells have cell walls.

The main postulates of cell theory are:

  1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
  2. Cell is the basic unit of structure, function, and organization in all living organisms.
  3. All cells come from pre-existing and living cells.

All living cells do not have cell walls. It is unique to plants, fungi and bacteria. So, it is not a postulate of the cell theory.
