Answer:

c. growth

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristics of living things are Movement, response to stimulus, growth, reproduction, respiration, nutrition and excretion.

While a fire may move and have a defined boundary like a living thing. A fire has neither weight nor mass and as such does not exhibit growth as growth is an irreversible increase in size and mass.

Hence a fire is distinct from a flowering plant in that it does not have growth.
