The statement that best describes stem cells would be that differentiation produces specialized cells from stem cells. This is best represented by option A.

Stem cells are very capable of differentiating into different cell types. This allows many cells to be made with unique functions in specialized processes. Therefore, option A relevantly and thoroughly answers the question.
