• A. Radiography
• B. MRI
• C. Molecular biology
• D. Histopathological studies

Answer 1

The correct option is A Radiography

(a)Radiography: It is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays and similar other rays to view the internal form of the body.

(b)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): It is an imaging technique used in radiology to form the anatomical and physiological process of the body in the persons suffering from cancer.
