Which one of the options does NOT describe the passage below or follow from it?

It is a disease of overproduction, of sudden growth, a growth that is unstoppable, tipped into the abyss of no control. Modern cell biology encourages us to imagine the cell as a molecular machine. Cancer is that machine unable to quench its initial command (to grow) and thus transform into an indestructibel, self-propelled automation.

(Adapted from The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee)
