It should be B as your answer.

Milo Doyle · Answer 2

A. Human liver cells make proteins that promote homeostasis that neurons do not.

Explanation:

Starting from simple multicellular organism such as Hydra to most complex multicellular organisms such as humans are made of many cells. Not all the cells perform all the life functions in these organisms. Thus, in them there is division of labour. The different cells in multicellular organisms grouped into tissues to perform a specific or particular function. So, statement of the option A is correct because human liver cells and neurons perform different functions.
