Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
  • Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Cancer is a non-contagious disease (non-infectious) which do not spread from one person to other.
  • Cancerous cells are not well differentiated because highly differentiated cells are similar to normal cells and spread more slowly. Cancer cells are poorly differentiated or undifferentiated cells which spreads more rapidly within the body.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
