Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. {'text': 'Are localised and do not metastasise', 'label': 'B'}
1. Benign tumours remain confined to their original tissue and do not spread. 2. Malignant tumours (cancer) invade neighbouring tissues and can metastasise via blood/lymph. 3. Metastasis is the property of migrating and forming new tumours elsewhere. 4. Chemotherapy is one option; benign tumours often need only surgery or observation. _Source: NCERT Class 12 Biology, Ch 7 "Human Health and Disease", §7.4_
