Solution

The correct options are
A
For the growth of the organism

C
To replace worn out cells

Living organisms are constantly making new cells by cell division. They make new cells in order to grow and also to replace old dead cells. The cells also divide to make a new organism (reproduction). Thus, cell division is the necessity for the existence of all living organisms.
