[不定项选择题]One characteristic of clinical death is__________.
A.lasting damage to the lungs
B.destruction of the tissues
C.temporary non-functioning of the heart
D.that the organism cannot be revived

参考答案:C
根据第一段“Clinical death OCCUrs when the vital organs，such as the heart or lungs，haveceased to function，but have not suffered permanent damage．The organism can still be revived．”可知，临床死亡是指机体的重要器官比如心、肺等停止运转，但是还没有遭到永久的损害，机体还可以复活。因此答案为C。
