Aimee Gray · Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Populations of organisms rarely change over time

Explanation:

In biology, living organisms differ from non-living ones according to different features, this includes the ability to replicate or reproduce sexually or asexually; the metabolization of energy to different activities such as growth or reproduction; a complex system that allows them to live and the ability to adapt to the environment. This last idea implies organisms and populations of them change over time according to the environment and therefore the one that is not a property of life is that "populations of organisms rarely change over time".
