Solution

The correct option is B Both A and C
The difference between normal tissues and cancer tissues is the rate of metabolism. In normal cells, hundreds of genes intricately control the process of cell division. Normal growth requires a balance between the activity of those genes that promote cell proliferation and those that suppress it. However, in the case of cancer cells, they involve abnormal growth. Cells become cancerous after mutations accumulate in the various genes that control cell proliferation. Hence proliferation of cancer cell is not limited because of differing surface proteins and aberrant chromosomal complements. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
