Question

an alternate term for tumor is
○ cytoplasm.
○ nucleoplasm.
○ benign malignancy.
○ neoplasm.
○ primary metastasis.

Explanation:

• Cytoplasm: The jelly - like substance within a cell, not related to tumor.
• Nucleoplasm: The substance within the nucleus of a cell, not related to tumor.
• Benign malignancy: A contradiction, as benign and malignant are opposite terms for tumor characteristics, not an alternate term for tumor.
• Neoplasm: By definition, a neoplasm is an abnormal growth of tissue, which is the same as a tumor.
• Primary metastasis: Metastasis is the spread of cancer, and "primary metastasis" is an incorrect term as primary refers to the original tumor and metastasis is the spread, not an alternate term for tumor.

Answer:

D. neoplasm
