Solution

The correct option is C Neurons
  • Neurons lack centrioles and can not divide and undergo mitosis.
  • They probably can not be regenerated, but some biologists have discovered that sometimes nerve cells can regenerate, but take a long time.
  • So this is a big problem for people who injure their nerve cells or nervous system. The damage of the nervous system can also cause a person to be paralyzed.
  • Hence, the correct answer is option C.
