Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. form.

  • "Form" is the suitable choice here, as it aligns with the process of cells growing and multiplying to create new cells.
  • The other options ("shape," "build," "formulate") do not convey the process of cells dividing and creating new cells in the context of normal cell growth.
