Correct answer: C

The statement that best captures Reductionist Biology is:

Option C

• Physico-chemical approach to study and understand living organisms

Why?

Reductionism breaks complex systems into simpler parts.

In biology, it means explaining life processes in terms of physics and chemistry (molecules, atoms, reactions).

“Physico-chemical” explicitly combines physical laws with chemical interactions—the hallmark of a reductionist stance.
