Answer:

The correct answer will be B.(Can cause cancers)

Explanation:

Somatic mutations are mutations present or found in the somatic cells or non-germ-line cells.

since these mutations are present in the somatic cells and not in the germ cells so they cannot be passed on to the progeny.

But these mutations in the somatic cells can cause  tumor which can lead to cancer. This happens if the gene causing cancer for e.g- Proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene is involved in cell division is mutated. So, the mutated gene is passed on to the daughter cells during cell division and shows uncontrolled differentiation of cells causing cancer.

Thus, option B is correct.

It inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme that takes part in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX) and the production of eicosanoids.

Eicosanoids are made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or from other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are close to arachidonic acid which are 20 carbon units in length.

They are important cell signaling molecules that inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever,regulate abortion of pregnancy and normal childbirth, regulating cell growth.
