Solution

The correct option is A
Nerve cell

Neurons cannot divide because they lack centrioles. Each nerve cell has a specific place in our nervous system. Its job is all about taking a signal from one specific place to another one. Adding new nerve cells would mess up these very specific connections in a very complex system.
