Solution
The correct option is B Oncogenes
An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumour cells, they are often mutated or expressed at high levels. Activated oncogenes can cause those cells designated for apoptosis (programmed cell death) to survive and proliferate instead. Most oncogenes began as proto-oncogenes which are normal genes involved in cell growth and proliferation or inhibition of apoptosis.So, the correct answer is 'Oncogenes'.
