Growth:

  • Growth is regarded as one of the most fundamental and conspicuous characteristics of a living being. 
  • Growth can be defined as an irreversible permanent increase in the size of an organ or its parts or even of an individual cell.
  • Growth is accompanied by metabolic processes (both anabolic and catabolic), that occur at the expense of energy.
  • Therefore, for example, expansion of a leaf is growth.
  • Plants display indefinite growth.
  • On the other hand, animals show a uniform and fixed growth.

Hence, the correct answer is option c.
