Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
A. Hypertrophy : abnormal increase in the size of organHypertrophy is an increase in cell size and volume. If enough cells of organ hypertrophy the whole organ will increase in size. Hypertrophy may involve an increase in intracellular protein as well as cytosol and other cytoplasmic components.
B. Hyperplasia : abnormal increase in the number of cells in the organ Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue that appear normal under a microscope.
C. Atrophy : inhibition of growth or dwarfing
Atrophy is a decrease in size of a body part, cell, organ, or other tissue. The term implies that the atrophied part was of size normal for the individual, considering age and circumstance, before the diminution.
D. Necrosis : death of plant is not correctly matched.
Necrosis is the condition when plants or plant cell cultures are subjected to abiotic stress they initiate rapid cell death with necrotic morphology.
