Answer:

3- As cells get larger, the volume increases more than the surface area

Step-by-step explanation:

As a cell develops, it grows larger and extends the cell membrane. Sadly, the volume rises greater than that of the surface area, and therefore the relative surface area usable to transfer resources to a unit cell volume declines gradually.
