Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor and is a tumor of middle-aged and older adults. Chondrosarcomas that develop from a pre-existing benign bone lesion are known as secondary chondrosarcomas. Rhabdomyoma is an extremely rare benign tu-mor of muscle that generally occurs in the tongue. The malignant tumor of striated muscle is called rhabdomyosarcoma. A fibrosarcoma is a solitary tumor that most often affects the met-aphyseal region of the femur or tibia.
