The correct answer is:
**B: To repair damaged tissues and enable growth.**
Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, and it is essential for growth, tissue repair, and maintaining the organism's overall health. Options A and C describe processes related to sexual reproduction or genetic variability (which involves meiosis), and option D refers to cellular metabolism rather than cell division.
