Answer:

C - Allow you to view living cells, while electron microscopes do not

Step-by-step explanation:

The method used to prepare the specimen for viewing with an electron microscope kills the specimen. Electrons have short wavelengths that move best in a vacuum, so living cells cannot be viewed with an electron microscope.
