Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Early or late menarche (before age 11 or after age 16) are risk factors for endometrial cancer. Having multiple children is not a risk factor for any type of reproductive cancer. First intercourse at an early age is a risk factor for cervical cancer. Use of birth control pills is a risk factor for breast cancer.
