The answer is the first one: Organism.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Organism: This term describes a single complete individual that can carry out all the basic life processes. It is a living entity that can function independently.
  2. Organ: This refers to a part of an organism that performs a specific function, such as the heart or liver, but it is not a complete individual by itself.
  3. Organelle: This is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, such as mitochondria or the nucleus, but it is not a complete individual.
  4. Organ system: This is a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function, such as the digestive system, but it is not a complete individual.
  5. Atom: This is the basic unit of a chemical element, but it is not a living entity and therefore not a complete individual.

Summary: An organism is a single complete individual capable of performing all life processes independently.
