At each higher level in the hierarchy of living things, properties occur that were not present at the simpler levels. These properties are referred to as
A) novelistic properties.
B) complex properties.
C) incremental properties.
D) emergent properties.
A) novelistic properties.
B) complex properties.
C) incremental properties.
D) emergent properties.

Living things are organized based on complexities, to different levels of hierarchy. At each higher level there will be a new property that distinguishes it from the lower level. The complexity of this property will be higher. These properties are not called as novelistic properties or complex properties or incremental properties.
Hence, options
,
and
are incorrect.
The properties that emerge at each higher level are called emergent properties. For example consciousness is an emergent property resulting from the actions of neurons situated in different parts of the brain.
Hence, the correct answer is option
.
