    The correct answer is e. the ability to replicate the genetic information accurately for the next generation

    Explanation:

    As there are chances of existence of life in the universe but we can not say that they will have the same type of genetic material as we have but the ability of replication of genome and the ability to pass the genetic information accurately to the next generation will be the most common feature in all genome because without genome replication and transfer life can not evolve and proceed on any planet.

    Therefore replication and genetic information transfer to the next generator is necessary. So the right answer is e.
