Solution

The correct option is A apoptosis
Cells are highly organised and all their functions are regulated. It is not just the rate of cell division that is controlled, but also the rate of cell death. If cells are no longer needed, they commit suicide by activating an intracellular death program. This process is called programmed cell death or apoptosis.
