The characteristic that is not one of the basic characteristics of all living organisms is **"reproduce sexually."**
Living organisms can reproduce in various ways, including asexual reproduction, so not all organisms reproduce sexually. In contrast, the other options—displaying organization, requiring energy, and maintaining homeostasis—are fundamental traits shared by all living organisms.
