Answer:

C. Carry out all 5 of the life processes but no longer can

Step-by-step explanation:

All living things are characterized by their ability to grow, reproduce, use energy by respiration, respond to stimuli, and easily adapt to their environments. When a living thing loses the ability to perform all of these basic functions, then it can be said to be non-living, or dead.

In addition, locomotion, excretion, metabolism, and nutrition were all exhibited when dead things were once alive.
