Question

natasha had her skin biopsied. in doing so, she had ______. a tiny portion of skin replaced a substantial portion of skin removed due to disease a few cells of skin removed for analysis a tiny portion skin treated with laser

Explanation:

A skin biopsy involves removing a small sample (a few cells or a tiny portion) of skin tissue for laboratory analysis to diagnose conditions. Let's analyze each option:

• "a tiny portion of skin replaced": Biopsy is not about replacement, so this is incorrect.
• "a substantial portion of skin removed due to disease": Biopsy removes a small sample, not a substantial portion, so this is incorrect.
• "a few cells of skin removed for analysis": This matches the definition of a biopsy (removing a small sample for analysis).
• "a tiny portion skin treated with laser": Biopsy is about removal for analysis, not laser treatment, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. a few cells of skin removed for analysis
