Answer 1

The correct response to how cells respond if a complex organism is injured is:

Cells rush to the damaged area, proliferate through mitosis, and work to repair the injury.

This describes the typical response of cells to injury, where they divide and multiply to help heal the damaged tissue. Mitosis is the process through which cells replicate to produce new cells, essential for tissue repair.
