Solution

The correct options are
A
Specialized network of proteins

C
Carbohydrates

Complex carbohydrate-protein structures along with some lipids (which are actually phospholipids) on the cell surface are responsible for cell-cell sensing. When these structures from neighboring cells touch each other, they send a signal to the nucleus through a specialized network of proteins to stop cell growth.
