A Correct answer
Explanation

Spontaneous generation (abiogenesis) - the idea that life can arise from non-living matter - is not an attribute of bacteria. Modern biology confirms that bacteria arise only from pre-existing bacteria (biogenesis), not from non-living matter. Growth, reproduction, and respiration are all fundamental bacterial characteristics.
