Explanation:

- The sentence discusses smoking and the kind of damage it causes to cells.

- Option 1: incomplete - This word means not whole or finished. It doesn't fit well as cell damage is not about completion but more about continuity.

- Option 2: broken - This implies something not functioning correctly or shattered. While related, it doesn't precisely match ongoing damage.

- Option 3: constant - This word means continuous and fits best as it describes the ongoing, unchanging nature of damage caused by smoking.

- Option 4: stable - This implies something staying the same, but it usually signals a lack of change, not the presence of an ongoing detrimental process.
