Planet earth is the only known region of the universe to host life and so the basic criteria for life is based on observations made here. For an entity to be considered a living organism it must contain DNA or some other means of storing genetic information. The second criteria is that it must have some way of extracting nutrients from its surroundings. The organism must be able to respond to environmental stimulus and last but not least it must be able to reproduce.

If the earthworm external stimuli is affected, then the behavior would change because earthworms react negatively to odors.
Although there is no attachment, the best answer would be option B.
DNA replication occurs in opposite directions along a strand of DNA.
The leading strand is replicated continuously in the 5' to 3' direction towards the replication fork.
The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in the 5' to 3' with segments of DNA known as Okazaki fragments.
