Scientists do not classify viruses as living things because they are not made of one or more cells (C). Viruses lack cellular structure and cannot carry out metabolic processes independently; they require a host cell to replicate. This fundamental difference in their nature compared to living organisms is why they are excluded from traditional biological classification.
