Answer:

C. Each cell needs to receive a complete copy of the chromosomes in order for the cell to work properly

Explanation:

The model in this question depicts the process of DNA replication, which is the process whereby an identical copy of DNA is made. Based on the model in the question, one (1) individual chromosome forms two (2) sister chromatids per chromosome. Each sister chromatid contains the replicated DNA.

This process is very important and must occur prior to any cell division because every cell needs to receive a complete copy of the chromosomes in order for the cell to work properly. For example, each human cell must receive 23 pairs of chromosome or 46 chromosomes in order to function well and this is ensured by DNA replication.
