Examine the provided figure showing growth patterns (a), (b), and (c) during embryogenesis. Which statement accurately identifies the cellular kinetics involved?

1. A
   Pattern (a) represents geometric growth where both daughter cells retain dividing capacity
2. B
   Pattern (b) represents arithmetic growth leading to a straight linear curve
3. C
   In (c), arithmetic phase precedes the geometric phase during zygote development
4. D
   In (c), early zygote cleavage shows geometric phase where all cells divide, followed by an arithmetic phase where some cells lose division capacity
