Solution

The correct option is C Regeneration
Regeneration is the natural ability in some animals. It is of three types-
1) Physiological regeneration- Replacement of body cells due to wear and tear caused by day-to-day activities. For example RBC.
2) Reparative regeneration is the repair of damaged body organs leading to wound repair.
3) Autonomy- In some animals like starfish, a part of the body is broken off on being threatened by a predator. This part is later formed.
Thus the correct answer is option C.
