Solution

The correct option is C Liver and Brain
The liver is known to have the maximum capacity to regenerate due to the presence of stem cells. These stem cells have the capability to divide and develop into new tissues. The brain has the least capacity of regeneration and so there are almost no stem cells in the brain.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
