Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Bloating and increased abdominal girth are the most common signs of ovarian cancer. Bleeding at irregular intervals is more consistent with endometriosis. Pain with intercourse is more common during menopause, due to the drying of the vaginal mucosa. Foul-smelling vaginal discharge is consistent with STDs or other vaginal infections.
