Solution

The correct option is B

The nucleus is essential for normal life


The nucleus is a highly specialized organelle that serves as the information processing and administrative centre of the cell. This organelle has the following functions: it stores the cell's hereditary material or DNA, and it coordinates the cell's activities, which include growth, metabolism, protein synthesis, and reproduction (cell division).

The above experiment on amoeba shows that the nucleus is very essential for normal life in any organism
