Answer:

(B) "It is a way old or dying cells can be replaced"

What are dying cells?

Necrosis is cell death where a cell has been badly damaged through external forces such as trauma or infection and occurs in several different forms. In necrosis, a cell undergoes swelling, followed by uncontrolled rupture of the cell membrane with cell contents being expelled.

hence, We may move on to determine how this answer is not true of mitosis, and then we can select this response. (B)
