C. Arithmetic growth
Step-by-step solution
In arithmetic growth, the cell divides giving rise to two daughter cells. From which, only one daughter cell continues to divide while the other differentiates and matures to become a permanent cell. This kind of growth rate is shown by meristematic cells. Plasticity is ability of the tissues to form different structures in response to environmental conditions. Senescence is the deterioration phase with respect to ageing of a cell or tissue or an organism.
