characteristics of animals
always sometimes
which phrase should be written in the column titled \always\?

• have a backbone
• are warm - blooded
• are multicellular

Explanation:

• "Have a backbone": Only vertebrate animals have backbones; invertebrates (like insects, jellyfish) do not, so this is not always true.
• "Are warm-blooded": Only mammals and birds are warm-blooded; reptiles, fish, and amphibians are cold-blooded, so this is not always true.
• "Are multicellular": All animals are multicellular eukaryotes; there are no single-celled animals, so this is always true.
• "Eat plants": Carnivorous and omnivorous animals do not only eat plants, and some animals eat only meat, so this is not always true.

Answer:

C. Are multicellular
