The answer is C
A cell is capable of carrying out all life processes, such as nutrition, excretion, respiration, etc. Hence it is called as the functional unit of life.
The cell is the smallest unit of life and all the living beings are made up of cells. Hence a cell is called the structural unit of life.

The correct answer is C. the function of a multicellular organism is the sum total of the functions of its constituent cells.

Explanation: Cells are considered the basic functional units of life because each cell carries out specific tasks that contribute to the overall functioning of the organism. In multicellular organisms, the diverse functions of specialized cells collectively maintain life, with the organism's overall function being the aggregate of these cellular activities.
