Answer:

B. Small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a cell is too large, nutrients simply aren't able to diffuse through the entire volume of the cell quickly enough. ... Smaller cells have a much greater surface area to volume ratio allowing material to diffuse throughout the entire volume of the cell quickly and efficiently.
