D. A goat.
The others are all lay eggs instead of having live births like mammals, and the butterfly and roach also go through metamorphosis during their lifecycle.

Though the molecules in fire behave the same way as in a living being, it's only 'matter'. It needs presence of 'mind' to feel and to be alive. Fire isn't alive. but not everything needs a mind to work does a plant have a mind and still is considered alive The answer "yes" or "no" to this question depends upon definitions of "alive" and "life". If one takes "alive" to mean "possessing life", then no, fire can under no circumstances be "alive" in that life is an organic phenomenon comprised of goal-directed, self-interest action. If one, however, takes "alive" to mean "having spirit or vigor", then in a manner of speaking, yes, a roaring fire can be "alive." Be careful about the terms you use to ask a philosophical question; not all questions are necessarily metaphysical, but are sometimes linguistic mistakes. The Seven Traits of Life Sensitivity and reactivity to the environment and Capacity for adaptionFire reacts to changes in it's environment. it moves when wind blows, it changes color when it's fuel is changed. it burns in spheres in zero gravity. Ingestion of substance for energy to functionFire externally (sort of) ingests fuel, and uses it to survive. went he fuel runs out, the fire 'starves' and goes away. Reproductionfire can move from one fuel source to another via wind or heat transfer, you end up with two flames instead of one. Respirationfire uses oxygen in it's reactions, and therefore respires. Emission of wastesfire gives off water and ash as it's products in most cases. Internal Movementever watch a fire burn? it certainly has internal movement. Cellular Structurenope so it depends how you look at itFire is not living. It is a chemical process that gives off heat and light.
