All organisms are ‘aware’ of their surroundings. Hence, all organisms can (A) handle chemicals entering their bodies (B) be self-replicating, evolving, and self-regulating (C) arise as a result of interactions among the molecular components (D) be linked to one another by the sharing of the common genetic material
