Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
These types of cancers usually manifest around age 5. These types of cancers are not commonly occurring, seen in adults, or composed of undifferentiated cells.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
One notable occupational factor is asbestos, which increases the risk of mesothelioma, lung can-cer, and possibly others. The same risk of bladder, prostate, or bone cancer does not exist.
