Explanation

Biogenesis comes from Greek 'bios' (life) and 'genesis' (birth/origin), referring to the principle that life arises from pre-existing life. The other options pair life with unrelated concepts - death is the opposite of life, reproduction and repair are biological processes, and growth is a characteristic of life.
