Solution

The correct option is A Carcinoma
Carcinoma is a category of types of cancer that develop from epithelial cells. Specifically, a carcinoma is cancer that begins in a tissue that lines the inner or outer surfaces of the body, and that arises from cells originating in the endodermal, mesodermal or ectodermal germ layer during embryogenesis. Carcinomas occur when the DNA of a cell is damaged or altered and the cell begins to grow uncontrollably and become malignant.
So, the correct answer is 'Carcinoma'.
