Answer:

I know I'm really late to answer this lol but I think it's A.) reproduce sexually.

Explanation:

Not all living things have to reproduce sexually. Some can reproduce asexually. For example some bacteria, a certain type of shark, and plants can all reproduce asexually. A living thing must be able to reproduce but it doesn't have to be sexually.

Organisms are living beings, which exhibit certain basic characteristics of living such as reproduction, respiration, and homeostasis.

What is not the basic characteristic of a living organism?

  • Syngenesis is a mode of reproduction, in which a male and female parent is required to produce a zygote. The process of syngenesis is not a basic characteristic of organisms.

  • Respiration, maintaining homeostasis and exhibiting some level of an organization such as cellular, tissue, and organ level are the basic characteristics of living organisms.

Thus, the organisms that are living can undergo several modes of reproduction such as binary fission, regeneration, and fragmentation.
