Explanation:

Analyze the statement about consciousness

The statement claims that consciousness is an exclusive feature of organisms that develop civilizations (essentially limiting consciousness to humans).

Evaluate scientific consensus on consciousness

Scientific and psychological consensus (such as the Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness) recognizes that many non-human animals, including those that do not develop civilizations (such as mammals, birds, and octopuses), possess the neurophysiological substrates necessary for consciousness. Therefore, consciousness is not exclusive to civilization-developing organisms.
