answered
a) Unicellular organism that can only replicate inside of other organisms
This option describes the property of being a unicellular organism and requiring a host organism for replication. This is a correct characteristic of chlamydia.
b) Unicellular organism that is a prokaryote
This option details the property of being a unicellular organism and belonging to the category of prokaryotes. Chlamydia is not classified as a prokaryote, so this characteristic does not apply to the infectious agent causing chlamydia.
c) Non-living particle that replicates only inside of other organisms
This option suggests that the infectious agent is a non-living particle that reproduces within other organisms. Chlamydia is an organism and not a non-living particle, so this characteristic is incorrect.
d) Non-living particle that contains DNA or RNA
This option mentions that the infectious agent is a non-living particle that carries DNA or RNA. Chlamydia is a living organism and not a non-living particle, so this characteristic does not apply.
Based on the analysis, option a (Unicellular organism that can only replicate inside of other organisms) is the correct characteristic of the infectious agent that causes chlamydia.
