In their nucleus cells contain DNA. The DNA has information about size, shape and function of each cell. When the cell reaches it's full size it stops growing and starts doing whatever it's function is. If more cells are needed then the cell replicates. This explanation excludes answers A and C.

Then the creation of new types of cells stops and existing cells multiply in order to achieve needed number of cells. This explanation excludes answer D.

When we compare an adult person and a baby we can see that, for example, an adult has bigger bones than a baby. This was result of increasing number of existing types of cells without creating any new type.
