Greetings!

Option A would be correct. The most likely outcome, (if) ribosomes stopped functioning properly, would be Cell growth stopping, or slowing down.

Answer:

A) Cell growth and repair would slow or stop.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are tiny biological structures present in the cytoplasm of a cell and comprise bio molecules like RNA and some proteins. Ribosomes along with mRNA and tRNA participate in translation i.e. protein synthesis.

We all know that hormones which are responsible for growth are largely proteins. Also the enzymes which repair damaged cell/tissue in the body of an organism are also proteins. So, in case ribosomes of a cell will be damaged or become malfunctional then the cell growth and repair will either slow down or  it will halt completely.
