B) Cell growth increases toward the beginning of the healing process and slows down towards the end of healing process.
C) Cell growth slows down toward the beginning of the healing process and increases towards the end of the healing process.

Answer 1

The correct answer is statement A.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the time of the process of healing, the skin's inner layer gets exposed and can lead to infection, as the microbes like bacteria can invade the wounded region. Thus, in order to cope up with the condition, the body enhances the growth of the cell in that specific region so that the wound get heal quickly.

However, at the same time, in the end, the body produces various cells in order to seal up the wound. In the end, the formation of scar tissue takes place as the wound gets closed, thus, more tissue formation takes place in comparison to what was present prior to the formation of the wound. Thus, the correct statement is the first one.
