Given what we know, we can confirm that a cell that doubles in size would then require four times more nutrients, option C is correct.
Why would the cell require more nutrients?
This has to do with the ratio between surface area and volume. Since volume is squared when calculating it, the volume of a cell increases much more rapidly than that of its surface area. So a cell that doubles in size would quadruple in volume, needed four times as many nutrients to maintain its internal processes.
Therefore, we can confirm that a cell that doubles in size would then require four times more nutrients, option C is correct.
