A living organism must be able to pass on traitsto future generations.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All living organisms must have the ability to reproduce. Living things make more organisms like themselves. Whether the organism is a rabbit, or a tree, or a bacterium, life will create more life. If a species cannot create the next generation, the species will go extinct.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic information is passed from generation to generation through inherited units of chemical information (in most cases, genes). Organisms produce other similar organisms through sexual reproduction, which allows the line of genetic material to be maintained and generations to be linked.

Detailed explanation-3: -Multicellular organisms often produce specialized reproductive germline (reproductive) cells that will form new individuals. When reproduction occurs, DNA is passed from the organism to that organism’s offspring. DNA contains the instructions to produce all the physical traits for the organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -All living organisms reproduce by passing on specific genetic information to future generations.

Detailed explanation-5: -here is your answer: D) “living thing do not reproduce” is not true about living things.
