Correct Option: B
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a death of a cell in any form, mediated by an intracellular program. PCD is carried out in a regulated process which usually confers advantage during an organisms life cycle. PCD also serves an important function during both plant and metazoan (multicellular animals) tissue development. Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death. However, necrosis is a non physiological process that occurs as a result of infection or injury.
