Respiratory system
C
Reproductive system
D
Nervous system
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by identifying the primary functions of each body system listed in the problem. For example, the digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, the respiratory system facilitates gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide), and the nervous system controls and coordinates body activities.
Step 2: Recall the main function of the reproductive system. It is specifically designed to produce new life through the processes of gamete production (sperm and egg cells), fertilization, and development of offspring.
Step 3: Compare the functions of the reproductive system with the question's requirement of producing new life. The reproductive system is the only system that fulfills this role.
Step 4: Eliminate the other options (digestive, respiratory, and nervous systems) as they do not contribute directly to the production of new life.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is the reproductive system, as its primary function aligns with the question's focus on producing new life.
