Whether it's microbes such as bacteria, fungi or acellular entities such as viruses, prions and viroids; the presence of nucleic acid is a must. Ability to utilize energy can be compromised as viruses used the energy sources of the host. Moreover, many non-living things also utilize energy.
So, the correct option is DNA.

Support the contention that this organism may be alive?
Considering the above sentence, the word "may be alive" means the ability to live and for a living organism to live it has to respire. As an act of respiration, energy is been used up.
Therefore the answer to the above question is "C" it utilizies energy.

In case of energy are flow living organism, but in few cases non-living organism energy are uses but more using in living organism because using energy activate the chemical process of living organism.

Electrons are nonliving they also do utilize energy in order to move to shells.
I will go with option of DNA because if reparation can be examined through microscope than also DNA has a possibility to be seen.
