The correct answer is: D.They would not be able to multiply in response to growth factors from nearby cells.

Explanation:

Local regulators, such as growth factors, are signaling molecules that act over short distances to regulate various cellular activities, including cell division, growth, and differentiation. These growth factors typically bind to specific receptors on the target cell’s surface. If a target cell lacks the receptors for these local regulators, it would not be able to respond to these signals and, therefore, would not be able to multiply or divide in response to growth factors released by nearby cells.
