Question
A characteristic of life is: a. chemical bonds b. the use of oxygen c. the production of CO2 d. evolution
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Evolution, or the change in heritable traits of populations over generations, is a fundamental characteristic of all life. Chemical bonds exist in non-living matter. Use of oxygen (aerobic respiration) and production of CO2 are not universal (e.g., anaerobic organisms).
Hint
Populations of all living things change over time.
