Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An individual is an integrated and indivisible whole, referring to a single organism or living entity. Choice A is incorrect as being multicellular is not a defining characteristic of an individual, as single-celled organisms are also considered individuals. Choice B is incorrect as forming a group implies multiple individuals, whereas an individual is a single entity. Choice D is incorrect as the presence or absence of a nucleus (a defining characteristic of eukaryotes) is not relevant to the definition of an individual.
