Answer: (a) human being

All living organisms are conscious in the sense that they sense and respond to their surroundings. But human beings are the only organisms that are aware of themselves, i.e. self-conscious. NCERT notes this as a special feature of humans.

A salamander or an earthworm responds to stimuli such as light, touch and chemicals, but shows no awareness of itself.
