Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Osteocytes are mature bone cells and the bones stop growing in length in early adulthood. In adults, the cell division of nerve cells stops and so its number remains fixed. These cells are unable to perform mitotic division as they lack cellular machinery like centrioles for the division.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
