The answer is C. Cells of a multicellular organism are adapted for performing a specific function.

Specialised cells perform a specific function. They cannot perform all the functions of the organisms, but only some of them. Imagine specialised heart cells and liver cells. They do not perform all functions of the organism but are specialised for some of them. The heart cells cannot perform the liver cells functions and vice versa.
