The correct option is C Adult stem cells
Stem cells are the special type of cells present in the body of a multicellular organism. They play an important role in healing. Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body that divide to replenish drying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in children, as well as adults.
