The ability to move because not all living things can move like plants they cannot move but they can respond to their surrounding/ environment, ability to reproduce, and growth and development like all living things do to live/survive

The answer which is not a characteristic of all living things is B. ability to move.
Just take plants for example - they are indeed alive, but they remain stationary because they do not have the means to move. Every living thing grows and develops, has a certain response to the environment, and can reproduce, in one way or another.
