a. specialized cells are short - lived and used for initial growth.
b. specialized cells perform specific functions in tissues.
c. specialized cells divide to form unspecialized cells.
d. specialized cells activate during periods of extreme stress.

Explanation:

Specialized cells have distinct structures and functions tailored to their role within tissues in an organism. They are not short - lived for initial growth only (A is wrong), they do not divide to form unspecialized cells (C is wrong), and they are not mainly for activation during extreme stress (D is wrong).

Answer:

B. Specialized cells perform specific functions in tissues.
