The correct statement about multicellular organisms is: "A multicellular organism has many specialized cells."

Explanation of how to get the answer:
To determine the correct statement, we need to understand the characteristics of multicellular organisms. Multicellular organisms are made up of more than one cell, and these cells are specialized to perform specific functions. This specialization allows for the division of labor within the organism, with different cells carrying out different tasks. The other statements are incorrect because not all cells in a multicellular organism are responsible for all life functions or movement, and multicellular organisms do not reproduce through binary fission. Therefore, by understanding the characteristics of multicellular organisms, we can identify the correct statement.
