Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

Lymphoma is cancer in which the cells of the immune system are affected. The lymphocytes are the type of white blood cells. The blood cells are produced in the bone marrow from the stem cells. There are stem cells in the umbilical cord of the fetus. The stem cells from the umbilical cord or the transplantation of the bone marrow can help cure the affected person's disease. The stem cells will produce new blood cells which can replace the function of the damaged cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
