Both the Volume and the Surface Area for Three Different

Both the volume and the surface area for three different cells were measured.These values are listed in the following table:

Using data from the table above,select the cell and best explanation for why that cell will be able to eliminate waste most efficiently?

A) Cell 1, since it has the smallest volume, and it will not produce as much waste as the other cells.
B) Cell 2, since it has the highest surface area-to-volume ratio, which facilitates the exchange of materials between a cell and its environment.
C) Cell 3, since it has the largest surface area, which will enable it to eliminate all of its wastes quickly.
D) Cell 3 because it is big enough to allow wastes to easily diffuse through the plasma membrane.
E) Presuming all cells have the same organelles; thus, they will eliminate waste with the same efficiency.
