The correct answer is (c) Oxygen evolution and carbon-dioxide uptake

For explanation I would say: The characteristics of viable cells include the capability of cellular growth (progression through cell cycle), the capability of cellular growth (anabolic metabolism), detectable resting metabolism (oxygen uptake and carbon-dioxide evolution), and the possession of membrane integrity (excretion of by-products).
