Answer: Option B

Explanation: In case of tissue engineering, scaffolds are built for growing replacement body parts. This is done to provide a proper shape for the growth of the cells.

The cells in the body needs to grow in a proper shape and size means it should in the affected area only.

This will result in on time growth and development of the affected area as scaffold will provide a base for the growth of cells in proper shape.

One of the functions of scaffolds in tissue engineering is letter b. cells grow into the correct shape. Scaffolds used in tissue engineering have biomaterials with biological attributes that will enhance cell attachment and topography where cells morph and align.
