It's answer d, but for info :

The question of wether or not a virus is alive is not resolved, some scientists say yes, some say no.

The fact is, viruses need another organism's enzymatic machinery to survive : alone, they cannot multiply or grow, produce or use energy, functions that are common to everything alive.

On the other hand, they do possess nucleic acids and proteins like living beings!

During a trip to the Galapagos Islands, which observation led Charles Darwin to suspect that organisms change over time? Island
Triss [41]

Answer:

Island finches did not have beaks of the same size and shape

Explanation:

This is  the evidence  of variation,  and therefore proof that  the finches were able to survive  the  selective pressure  by adapting their beaks to different feeds. Therefore finches that were able to adapt  adjusted their beak shapes to the selecting pressure 'feeds' in the environment,  and are naturally selected, and therefore adapted and evolved with time .While those without the surviving  beaks lost out.

Thus  changes in selection pressure, necessitated corresponding  change in the beaks shape  for adaption to survive( due to variation, ) and therefore natural selection   for evolution

7. Slime molds are fungus like protists, but they are not fungi. Why?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Because they can move

Explanation:

Fungi cannot make food themselves so they depend heavily on hosts. Also fungi lack the proper cilia to move, so they use spores instead to "move".

In the case of slime mold, they are like an animal fungus per se. They are like Protozoa in their amoeboid plasmodial stage and similar to true fungi in spore formation.
