This question was previously asked in
RRB Technician 2026 Grade 3 Question Paper (6-Oct-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

To ensure vital body functions continue for survival

Life processes are the maintenance functions — nutrition, respiration, transport and excretion — that keep an organism alive.

Even during rest or sleep, cells keep breaking down and repairing; the heart keeps pumping, breathing continues, and wastes keep being removed. Without these continuous processes, cells would be damaged and the organism would die.

So life processes go on during rest to keep vital body functions running for survival — not to speed up reproduction, prepare for sudden movement or reset the brain.

Hence, the answer is: To ensure vital body functions continue for survival.
