Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of surface area to volume plays an important role in maintaining the size of the cell as the size is related to its function.

If a cell size increases then its volume grows proportionally while the surface area of the cell decreases that is a small cell will have has a greater ratio of the surface area to volume. It also depends on the metabolic requirements of the cell.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
