Solution

The correct option is C Growth can be reserved in crystal
The crystals are non-living structures composed of molecules. These structures show an external form of growth in which many atoms in the solution come together to form the nuclei. The other atoms in the solution start bonding with the atoms of the nuclei forming an aggregated structure. The new atoms are added from the outside and growth in the crystal can be controlled by changing the external factors (factors like the concentration of the solute and solvent, pH, temperature, etc). However, the growth in living forms in internal and is controlled both by intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
