I need to ask this question from Human Health and Disease topic in chapter Human Health and Disease of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Cannot spread to other body organs

Best explanation: Neoplasm is a new abnormal tissue that is capable of continued growth, the formation of tumour, crowding and disrupting of normal cells. They are caused by abnormal proliferation of the cells. They may or may not be localised.
