Solution

The correct option is B Stem cells
Differentiation is the process by which a cell can change into different cell types. The cells that can undergo differentiation are called stem cells. Stem cells are mainly found in bone marrow. They are used for regeneration of cells and also in treatment of cancer. Blood cells, neurons and muscle cells are all formed from stem cells after differentiation.
