Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation: When the organism has stopped growing then there is no visible growth in the body of the organism.

When the cells proliferate and dies at the same rate, the change is zero and the body seems to be finished growing. This can be described on the cellular basis that the number of cells remains constant as the rate of proliferation and death is same.
