The correct answer is: C.Slower removal of waste materials.

Explanation:

As a cell increases in size, its surface area to volume (SA:V) ratio decreases. This results in a slower rate of material exchange, including the removal of waste products. With a lower SA:V ratio, there is less surface area available for the diffusion of waste out of the cell, making it harder to remove waste materials efficiently.

The other options are not directly related to a lower SA:V ratio:
