Solution

The correct options are
A Apoptosis
B

Cell suicide


Cells are highly organised in multicellular organisms. Not only is the rate of cell division 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 therefore called programmed cell death or apoptosis.
