Solution

The correct option is D 1, 3 and 4

Cell division is the key to continuity of life of cell as an individual as well as the organism as a whole. In higher organisms, right from the stage of zygote, cell division is responsible for their growth and development.

Cell division makes it possible to repair damaged or injured tissues as well as replace the dead cells/tissues thus maintaining the health of the organism.

Cell division plays an important role in producing gametes which allow organisms to reproduce and ensure continuity of their species.
