It is important for cells of multicellular organisms to undergo mitosis because mitosis produces cells that are identical to the original dividing cell. Thus, the right option would be D.

Mitosis involves the division of vegetative cells and it results in daughter cells with the same morphology and genome as the parent cell.

The division of vegetative cells in multicellular organisms will ensure that damaged or dead cells are replaced with cells of similar morphology and genome.

Apart from replacing dead or damaged cells, mitosis also allows multicellular to grow in size by allowing similar cells to spring from existing cells.
