Mitosis is a type of cell division that primarily serves to make more cells for growth and to replace old or damaged cells. It does not occur to make sex cells for reproduction (that process is meiosis), nor is it limited to only fetal stages of development.
Thus, the correct statements are:
I. to make more cells so organisms can grow.
II. so organisms can replace old or damaged cells.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**D. I and II only**
