Living beings maintain continuity of life by :
A Adaptation
B DNA replication and its transfer to next generation
C RNA synthesis
D None of the above

Detailed Solution

Continuity of life depends on passing the genetic information accurately from one generation to the next.
DNA replicates (copies itself) before cell division, and the copies are transferred to daughter cells and, through gametes, to offspring.
So living beings maintain continuity of life by DNA replication and its transfer to the next generation.
