Vedclass · Answer

(C) Growth is defined as an increase in mass and an increase in the number of individuals. In living organisms,growth occurs from the inside. However,non-living objects also grow if we take an increase in body mass as a criterion for growth (e.g.,mountains,boulders,and sand mounds grow by accumulation of material on the surface). Therefore,growth cannot be taken as a defining property of living organisms. Regarding the options provided: $1$. Growth is not exclusive to living organisms (non-living things also grow externally). $2$. Plants grow continuously throughout their life span,whereas animals grow only up to a certain age. $3$. Growth in living organisms is from inside. Since statement $C$ is the only scientifically accurate statement among the choices,and the question asks for correct statements,we must evaluate the options carefully. Given the standard context of this question,$C$ is the correct biological fact.

Which of the following $statement(s)$ is/are correct?
