Answer:
The most appropriate answer is option C.
Mitosis refers to a cell division in which a parent cell divides to give rise to two equal daughter cells. It helps in the growth and repair of tissues in multicellular organisms.
Once the cell has increased its size significantly, it undergoes mitosis to divide into smaller daughter cells.
It increases the area to volume ratio of the cell and helps the cell to get nutrition from a simple process such as diffusion.
