The answer should be D.(increase in size) because both the living and the non-living have sizes that increase under external agencies.
For example, sunlight heating a metal(non-living) will cause it to increase in size(expansion) and food factor for animals(living) that causes an irreversible increase in size(growth).
C.(increase in biomass) can not be the answer because it is only applicable to the living things since 'bio' means life and 'mass', the quantity of particles in a substance(object or body) that helps in determining its weight.

The correct answer should be increase in size not increase in biomass. Because both the living and the non-living have sizes that increase under external agencies.

Irritability is common to both living and non-living organism Living things respond to stimuli while on living respond to environmental change. It is the correct option Increase in biomass is peculiar to living and not to non living – not correct
Myschool your answer contradicts your explanation, how come. Your explanation is correct but your answer is wrong.
The correct answer is B...
Living and non living things have the ability to respond to stumuli....
For example,if you push a table,it moves so that shows that irritability is also a Xtic of non living things...
