Solution

The correct option is B Programmed cell death

A. Cell necrosis - is a form of cell injury which results in the premature death of cells in living tissue by autolysis.

B. Pinocytic activity - is a mode of endocytosis in which small particles suspended in extracellular fluid are brought into the cell through an invagination of the cell membrane, resulting in a suspension of the particles within a small vesicle

C. Programmed cell death is the death of a cell in any form, mediated by an intracellular program. PCD is carried out in a biological process, which usually confers advantage during an organism's life-cycle.

D. Cell senescence- is a phenomenon by which normal cells cease to divide

So, the correct option is ‘Programmed cell death’.
