Answer to Question 1

B
Genetic factors are risk factors for cancer that cannot be changed. These are related to the high incidence of certain types of cancer in some families; leukemia and cancers of the breast, colon, stomach, prostate, lung, and ovary are among those that tend to run in families.

Answer to Question 2

C
The risk factors of the development of breast cancer include a family history (immediate female relatives), high-fat diet, obesity after menopause, early menarche, first child after 30, and postmenopausal hormone therapy.
