Understand the definition of a chemical substance required by organisms to live: it must be essential for biological processes such as respiration, energy production, or cellular function.
Evaluate each option based on its biological role: Sulfur hexafluoride (SF\_6) is an inert gas used industrially and has no biological role in living organisms.
Methane (CH\_4) is a simple hydrocarbon and a source of energy for some microorganisms but is not universally required by all organisms to live.
Carbon dioxide (CO\_2) is a product of respiration and used by plants in photosynthesis, but it is not directly required by most organisms to live; rather, it is a waste product or a resource for plants.
Oxygen (O\_2) is essential for aerobic respiration in most organisms, enabling the production of energy necessary for survival, making it the chemical substance required by organisms to live.
