Solution

The correct option is A Cancer
Some cells of the body do not follow normal patterns of regulated growth and division. The cell’s DNA could get altered, which makes it abnormal and this is termed as cancer. Differentiation is the process wherein one cell changes to a more specialised cell type. Morphogenesis on the other hand means the development of form or shape.
