Answer:

the answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

because when the cells continue to grow their volume and surface don't increase same amount. The volume is 3D and the surface is 2D so their volume increases faster than their surface. After some time the cells can divide or they stopped to grow

the answer is D

the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. —if the cell grows bigger, not enough material would be able to get to the membrane as fast as it should
