Solution

The correct option is B Continuously, only upto a certain age
A multicellular organism increased its mass by cell division. In plants, growth continues throughout life as they have meristematic areas where cell divisions occur continuously. In animals, growth occurs to a certain age after which cells divide only to replace worn out and lost cells.
