Regardless of whether the tumour is benign or malignant, treatment to remove or reduce the size of the tumour will be recommended. The specific treatment plan will depend on various factors such as the tumour's location, size, and type. Surgery may be used to initially remove or reduce the tumour size, but other therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation may also be used. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate response.
