The basic unit that makes up living things is the ____
A
cell membrane

C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages. That’s because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane-which, much like the walls of a house, serves as a clear boundary between the cell’s internal and external environments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life as they are the smallest unit that can be called living. One complete cell is capable of performing all the physiological activities. Cells combine to form tissues, which are a collection of cells performing a similar function.

Detailed explanation-3: -The classical cell theory was proposed by Theodor Schwann in 1839. There are three parts to this theory. The first part states that all organisms are made of cells. The second part states that cells are the basic units of life.
