Understand the context of the question: it asks about the process where a single cell increases in size without dividing.
Recall the definitions of the given options: Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm during cell division; Apoptosis is programmed cell death; Mitosis is the division of the nucleus leading to cell division.
Recognize that none of these options describe a cell simply increasing in size without division.
Identify that the process of a cell increasing in size without dividing is called 'Cell growth'.
Conclude that the correct term for a cell increasing in size without division is 'Cell growth', which is distinct from the processes of division or death.
