Explanation:

Cell specialization is the differentiation of cells to perform very specific function. At the stage of cellular differentiation, the generic cells are transformed into very specialized cells.

Multicellular organisms have very complex body systems. They carry many different tasks. They have to move, find food, excrete, maintain balance within their body system and the environment etc.

To perform these tasks, cells must have specific functions because they would be in need of different materials to carryout the functions.

A unicellular organism performs very simple functions of life. They do not require complex biological processes to manufacture their food and carry out life activities.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Biodiversity usually refers to the different varieties of life forms that exist on earth. This includes the varieties in terms of ecosystem, and species and genetic changes.

This biodiversity is directly dependent on the region where there occurs a high amount of sunlight and precipitation. The factors such as latitude, climate, height, availability of resources are important for the growth and expansion of biodiversity. In these regions, the biogeochemical cycle also occurs rapidly, as the processes that are associated with it occur at a faster rate, thereby enhancing biodiversity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
