Solution

The correct option is D Myeloma
  • Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma, is a blood cancer arising from plasma cells.
  • Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell made in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the ‘spongy’ material found in the centre of the larger bones in the body and is where all blood cells are made.
  • Myeloma develops when DNA is damaged during the development of a plasma cell.
  • This abnormal cell then starts to multiply and spread within the bone marrow.
  • Hence, Cells obtained from cancerous tumours are known as Myeloma.
