Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a malignant tumor, the cells do not respond to normal control mechanisms, meaning they divide uncontrollably and can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. This can lead to life-threatening issues, which rules out option A. The cells can also break through the epithelium and/or connective tissue capsule, ruling out options B and C. Invasion is not typically easy to control in malignant tumors, ruling out option E. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
