The major difference between viruses and living things are that most living things can reproduce independently, whereas viruses must infect living cells in order to reproduce. The correct answer is C.
In drinking water, the more turbid it appears, the higher the chance that those using it could end up with gastrointestinal diseases. The water may be having contaminants such as viruses and pathogenic bacteria which are found attached to suspended solids. These solids may interfere with disinfection of the water.
Erosion and effluent from highly urbanized areas contribute to the turbidity of water in those areas. In open bodies of water, organisms such as phytoplankton can contribute to turbidity in the water.

Answer:
Starfish
Explanation:
This is an opinion questions, so there really isn't a right or wrong answer. You could just as easily choose Eel. Your task is to pick one and defend your reasoning.
I chose starfish because starfish have a long history of demonstrated adaptability to a wide variety of conditions. Their armored skin protects them from a variety of predators, as does the poison that many of them contain. They have the ability to regrow limbs, and even regrow entire starfish from certain body parts. When it comes time to breed, starfish meet together in groups. Each female releases a few million eggs from the gonads in each of her arms. Each male then releases billions of sperm from each gonad in each of his arms, thus covering the eggs with sperm to fertilize them.
