Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires classifying a list of items as living or non-living. To be classified as living, an object must have all six of the following characteristics: it responds to the environment, it grows and develops, it produces offspring, it maintains homeostasis, it has complex chemistry, and it consists of cells. Using these criteria, we can classify the items as follows:
Living: Animal (1), Human being (2), Plant (3), Tree (6), Insects (7), Reptiles (9), Trees (10)
Non-living: Sun (4), Stone (5), Rock (8), Chair (11)
The correct classification from the given options is Option C, which lists the living items as 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, and 10, and the non-living items as 4, 5, 6, 8, and 11.
