Option B, The new cell will be approximately 2.4 times its current volume and 1.8 times its current surface area.

Explanation:

The size of any cell depends on the kind of nutrients received by it. If a cell grows in a culture which lacks sufficient nutrients then the size of cell may reduce and in some cases may become lesser than half the total size of original cell. However, in a budding cell, the cell division process gets delayed due to which cell gets sufficient time to grow in size and becomes equal to the size of cell of a fully grown human being.

Hence, option 2 is correct
