Answer:

D.

Explanation:

The adult stem cells that are responsible for making new cells in the intestine for the purpose of protection are located in the intestine itself

In the digestive tract are the stem cells that make new cells to protect the intestines.

Intestinal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells found in the base of the adult intestine's crypts in mammals.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are the body's raw materials — they are the cells that give rise to all other cells with specialized tasks.

Stem cells divide to generate new cells called daughter cells under the correct conditions in the body or in the lab.

These daughter cells differentiate into new stem cells or specialized cells with a specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells, or bone cells (differentiation).

No other cell in the body has the potential to produce new cell types on its own.

Thus, option D is correct.
