Solution

The correct option is A Carcinoma
Carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm, epithelial in origin or cancer of the internal or external epithelial lining of the body. Carcinomas - malignancies of epithelial tissue, account for 80 to 90 percent of all cancer cases. Epithelial cells have always been vulnerable as these tissues are often exposed to environmental insults such as chemicals and solar radiation and often divide rapidly to replace lost cells. Hence many cancers arise in epithelial tissues, especially those cells that line the surface of our skin and organs.
