Answer:

(D). Nonmaleficence

Explanation :

Leukemia occurs when damage is caused by the DNA of developing blood cells, mainly white cells. This causes the blood cells to uncontrollably expand and split. Good blood cells die, and are replaced by new cells. Bone marrow transplant is required in curing leukaemia. A bone marrow transplant is a surgical procedure performed to replace the weakened or killed bone marrow by illness, infection, or chemotherapy. This procedure involves the transplantation of blood stem cells into the bone marrow where they create new blood cells and encourage new marrow growth.

The healthcare team is discussing the risks and benefits of this treatment , this refers to Nonmaleficence healthcare ethics. Nonmaleficence means that it does not damage or cause the least possible harm to achieve a beneficial outcome.
