Which of the following is not an exclusive characteristic of living organisms?
Correct Answer: D — Movement
Movement can occur in non-living organisms under the influence of high speed winds, high water current, pressure etc. Hence it cannot be considered as an exclusive characteristic to living organisms. Growth, reproduction, consciousness are considered as characteristic features because no non living organism can produce one of its kind by own, show metabolic changes or show signs of being conscious.
