C Correct answer
Explanation

Viruses exhibit characteristics of both living and non-living things. They have genetic material and can evolve like living organisms, but cannot reproduce without a host cell and don't carry out metabolic processes like living things. Bacteria, amoeba are fully living. Coacervates were hypothetical prebiotic structures, not actual organisms.
