The correct option is B Breast cancer
Breast cancer is cancer that develops from breast tissue. Signs of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in breast shape, dimpling of the skin, fluid coming from the nipple, a newly inverted nipple, or a red or scaly patch of skin. Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women. It affects about 12% of women worldwide. In 2012, it comprised 25.2% of cancers diagnosed in women, making it the most common female cancer.
