Answer:

c

Explanation:

The very primitive and early microorganisms on the earth's surface were protobionts. Protobionts are cell-like microscopic structures, and they are made up of organic and inorganic molecules present in a lipid bilayer membrane. The layers of the lipid membranes were folded into bilayers and transformed into a bubble shape when placed in water. These membranes were selectively permeable and also observed shrinkage and swelling in osmotic conditions. Protobionts also possess the characteristics of reproduction.
