Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "it will die of old age".

Explanation:

Cell division is not only the essence of cell proliferation and reproduction, but also helps the cells to maintain healthy. If a cell is not allowed to divide it will die of old age. This condition is known as cell cycle arrest, which occurs usually at stressful conditions such as  hypoxia and oxidative stress and could evolve into serious conditions such as acute tubular necrosis.
