Tanya Chang · Answer 1

Option D

Explanation:

In order to maintain homeostasis, a function is to be performed that leads to functional normality of the body and its organs.

Here, the death of cells is affecting the homeostasis hence in order to restore homeostasis the remaining cells must divide at higher pace so that they can replenish the lost cells and their functions.

Hence, option D is correct
