One of the characteristics of bacteria is that<u> can replicate anywhere, without the need to be inside another organism, that is, they do not need to be inside the body to reproduce</u>.
The other options are true, with respect to bacteria:
<em> A. </em><u><em>Bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics</em></u><em> through random mutations, a process linked to natural selection.
</em>
<em> B. Some </em><u><em>bacteria are necessary for the organism</em></u><em>, such as those found in the intestinal bacterial flora.
</em>
<em> C. </em><u><em>Sepsis</em></u><em> is a serious bacterial infection resulting from the spread of the bacteria throughout the body.</em>
