Solution

The correct option is D DNA repair mechanism
The DNA repair mechanism is mostly foolproof thanks to the high fidelity of the polymerase enzymes that proof-reads base pairing. However, the DNA repair mechanism has no in-built control over the prevention of unwanted cell division. Contact inhibition, anchorage dependence and cell cycle checkpoints however are geared specifically to control the progression of the cell cycle.
