Solution

The correct option is A True
All cells have a controlled cycle of formation, division and death.Some cells do not follow this controlled pattern. This is because the genes controlling the division and growth in these cells get mutated into versions that allow uninhibited multiplication. Uncontrolled division leads to the formation of a mass of cells called tumor.
