Solution

The property shared by the cells of all living things is that "The cells contain DNA composed of adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine." This is because DNA, which is composed of these four nucleotides, is the genetic material that carries the instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. DNA is found in all living cells.

The other options are not universally true for all cells. For example, not all cells have a membrane-bound nucleus (prokaryotic cells do not), not all cells have a cell wall made of cellulose (animal cells do not), and not all cells rely on mitochondria for aerobic cellular respiration (again, prokaryotic cells do not).
