Solution

The correct answer is A. Scientific observations show that microscopic organisms living in the deep ocean are not made up of cells. This would require the theory to be modified because it contradicts the statement that all living organisms are made up of one or more cells. The other options do not challenge the fundamental assertions of the theory.
