Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback:
Over a lifetime, people are exposed to many carcinogens. Although weight tends to increase during adult years, people who survive into old age tend to be thinner. T-cell activity lessens, not increases, with age. The risk associated with some genes is independent of age.
