Yes
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
If the cell's surface-to-volume ratio got too small as a result of the volume increasing faster than the surface area, the cell would no tbe able to get the nutrients it needs to survive and would die.
it increases
As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.
Volume
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
Surface area.
volume increases faster than the surface area.
The volume increases faster. (proportional to the cube of the radius)The surface area increases slower. (proportional to the square of the radius)
It decreases. As the dimensions increase by a number, the surface area increases by the same number to the power of 2, but the volume increases by the same number to the power of 3, meaning that the volume increases faster than the surface area.

Remember that as the diameter of a spherical cell increases, the surface area increases as the square of the diameter, and the volume increases as the cube of the diameter, so volume increases much faster than surface area. The same principle applies for other shapes than spherical cells, but the math is more complicated.
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
it increases
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
