Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Sciences/Biology)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'negative regulation of keratinocyte differentiation'?

A. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of auditory hair cell differentiation.
B. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of pancreatic A cell differentiation.
C. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of keratinocyte differentiation.
D. Any process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis, the process in which the branching structure of the ureteric bud is generated and organized. The ureteric bud is an epithelial tube that grows out from the metanephric duct. The bud elongates and branches to give rise to the ureter and kidney collecting tubules.

Answer: Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of keratinocyte differentiation.
