Solution

The correct option is B

Human papilloma virus (HPV)


Human papilloma virus (HPV), the virus that causes genital warts and microscopic cell changes in the genital area is also a risk factor for cervical cancer. Although HPV is present in 97% of the diagnosed cervical cancers, this sexually transmitted virus has not been firmly established as the cause of cervical cancer, but as a risk factor for cervical cancer. Studies also show that women who smoke are at a higher risk of developing cervical cancer than non-smokers.
