Answer: Option B

Explanation:

A living thing can be defined as the organism that can respire, reproduce, ingestion, and many more characters.

The ability to replicate shows that the organism is living. The growth of the organism does not proves that it is a living organism.

Hence, the given statement that Kozon is growing twice its size over a period of week is used as a characteristic feature to show the organism is living.
