Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Malignant tumors destroy surrounding tissues and may spread to distant parts of the body causing a secondary tumor to grow in that area. Malignant cells divide and multiply but not in the same manner as normal parent cells and are rarely contained within a capsule.
