D

Number of cells in a multicellular organism are directly proportional to the size of the body. On the other hand, it is a fact that cell vary greatly in their size. Mycoplasma cells are the smallest, ranging from 0.1 to `0.3 mu m`, whereas human cells, generally range from 20 to `30 mum`. Nerve cells are the longest.
