 A cancerous tumor is one in which cells divide uncontrollably, leading to the formation of a mass of abnormal tissue that can be invasive and potentially life-threatening.

Answer: C
 An abnormal growth of tissue with no physiological function is referred to as a neoplasm, which can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
