In multicellular organisms, cells and organ systems are specialized to perform specific tasks. For example, the respiratory system in animals and the shoot system in plants allow these organisms to take in the atmospheric gases they need and release the waste gases.

What is the most probable hypothesis that can be made if one organ system is damaged in a multicellular organism?

A.

If one organ system is damaged, the whole organism will not be affected in any way.

B.

If one organ system is damaged, the organism will adapt and perform the damaged system's functions.

C.

If one organ system is damaged, the whole organism will not function properly.

D.

If one organ system is damaged, the other organ systems will experience a higher rate of mutation.
