The factor that determines how a cell will differentiate is:

• The physical location of the cell in the body

Cell differentiation is influenced by various factors, including the cell's environment and its position within the organism. While genetic information encoded in DNA plays a crucial role, it is the interaction with the surrounding environment and signaling from nearby cells that primarily guide the differentiation process.
