• B. Erythrocytes
• C. Ectoderm and endoderm/Epithelial tissue
• D. Connective tissue
• E. White blood corpuscles

Answer 1

The correct option is C Ectoderm and endoderm/Epithelial tissue

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. It occurs 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 'Ectoderm and endoderm/Epithelial tissue'.
