Answer: (B) Not made from living things .

Step-by-step explanation: Organic compounds are those compounds which contains carbon bonded to a hydrogen and might contain other elements and are usually synthesized by living beings. Example:
C_6H_(12)O_6

Inorganic compounds are those compounds which do not contain carbon bonded to a hydrogen, might contain other elements are not synthesized by living beings. Example:
NaCl

Both organic and inorganic compounds are chemical compounds which are formed by combination of elements in a fixed ratio by mass.
