Correct option is A
Correct answer is (a)continuous.
· The maintenance functions of a living organism, such as respiration, digestion, circulation, excretion, and repair of tissues, are continuous processes that occur throughout the organism's life.
· These processes are essential to sustain life, maintain homeostasis, and ensure proper functioning of the body.
Why not the other options?
· Long time: While maintenance occurs over a long time (a lifetime), it is not the most accurate answer because it specifically needs to happen continuously.
· One time: Maintenance is not a one-time event; it is ongoing.
· Short time: These processes are not limited to a short duration; they are required for the entire life span.
