The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a common feature that can be exhibited by both living and non-living entities. We need to analyze the options provided to find the correct answer. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Growth**: - Living organisms grow in size and complexity over time. For example, a plant grows taller and a human grows in height. - Non-living things can also show growth in a different context. For instance, a pile of sand can increase in size as more sand is added over time. - Therefore, growth can be considered a common feature of both living and non-living entities. - **Option B: Reproduction**: - Living organisms have the ability to reproduce, either sexually or asexually. - Non-living entities do not have the capability to reproduce. - Thus, reproduction is not a common feature. - **Option C: Metabolism**: - Metabolism refers to the biochemical processes that occur within living organisms to maintain life, such as energy production and nutrient processing. - Non-living entities do not have metabolic processes. - Hence, metabolism is not a common feature. - **Option D: Cellular Organization**: - Living organisms are made up of cells, which are the basic units of life. - Non-living entities do not have cellular structures. - Therefore, cellular organization is not a common feature. 3. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, we find that the only feature that is common to both living and non-living entities is growth. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option A: Growth**. ---
