The activity described, where paramecia ingest stained yeast, is most closely associated with the life function of: C) Nutrition
The ingestion of stained yeast by paramecia directly relates to their nutritional needs. Paramecia are unicellular organisms that require food to generate energy, grow, and maintain their bodily functions, which is why the life function associated with this activity is nutrition. When they ingest yeast, they are taking in nutrients that they will break down and use for energy and cellular processes.
