The correct answer is:

✅ A. Protoplasm of an organism

Explanation:
Biological growth refers to an increase in living material within an organism.

Protoplasm is the living substance of a cell, including the cytoplasm and nucleus.

Growth occurs when the amount of protoplasm increases due to cell division and enlargement.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
B. Number of organisms ❌ – This refers to reproduction, not individual growth.

C. Size of an organism ❌ – Growth often increases size, but it must be due to an increase in living material (protoplasm), not just water intake or swelling.

D. Development of form ❌ – Development is different from growth; it refers to changes in structure and function, not just an increase in material.

Thus, the best answer is:
✅ A. Protoplasm of an organism
