Answer: A.to produce new, identical body cells 

Mitosis plays an important part in the organism’s life cycle.   In unicellular or single-celled organisms,  mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction, producing identical copies of a single cell. In multicellular organisms, mitosis produces more cells for its growth and repair. Therefore the statement that mitosis produces new, identical body cells is correct.
