A Correct answer
Explanation

Restorative regeneration is the specific biological process that allows organisms to regrow lost body parts or regenerate entire organisms from fragments. This differs from reparative regeneration, which only involves healing damaged tissues without complete replacement. Planaria and starfish are classic examples of organisms capable of restorative regeneration.
