Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Option A:
A, B only
- Option B:Correct
A, B, C only
- Option C:
A, B, D only
- Option D:
B, C, D only
Answer: B
Step-by-step solution
Neoplastic cells are characterized by abnormal, uncontrolled proliferation forming a mass of proliferating cells. They show rapid growth of cells. Malignant neoplastic cells invade and damage the surrounding tissue. Cells confined to the original location describe benign tumors, not neoplastic/malignant characteristics. Thus A, B and C are correct while D is incorrect. The correct option is B.
