Pathology consists of study of basic structural and functional abnormalities associated with any disease. A pathologist studies basic aspects of disease within a department. There are several specialized branches associated with pathology, which include experimental, anatomic, clinical and surgical pathologist.
Experimental pathologists are basic scientists, who research and investigate the causes and mechanisms of disease. Anatomic pathologists perform autopsies, tissue removal from patient and all preparation to diagnose cancer cells.
Clinical pathologists analyze various samples from the patient like blood, urine, fluid, and sputum for the presence of microbes, antigen, antibodies, nucleic acid, blood cells and coagulation factors.
Hence, the options B, C, D and E are incorrect.
Surgical pathologists are associated with the study of tissues removed from the patient during surgery for the diagnosis of the disease and for the determination of its treatment. The breast biopsy involves removal of a tissue from the patient, so it will examined by surgical pathologist.
