<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Malignant implies cancer cells make up the tumor, and that can penetrate surrounding tissues. Such cancer cells may migrate into the bloodstream or lymph nodes, where they could disperse to other tissues inside body this is considered as metastasis. There are cancerous malignant tumours when cells multiply furiously they evolve. If the cells keep growing and spreading, the condition could become existence-threatening.

<u>Malignant tumor</u> is the diagnosis of the findings of a firm, non-moveable breast lump.

Explanation:

During the physical examination of the breasts, the malignancy of a tumor is best determined by the firmness, movability, and location of the lump in the breast.  

When a lump is firm and rooted, and immoveable it is considered to be malignant. Lumps that are less firm, painless and which moves upon palpation are benign lumps. Lumps filled with fluids are cysts.

Malignant lumps are commonly found along the right upper quadrant of the breasts based on common studies.  

Since the lump has been located only on the current visit with the previous visit within 3 weeks before, the lump is a newly found one and even if it is proved cancer diagnostically, it would take more time to metastasize.

Hence, there are more chances for the lump to be a malignant tumor based on the physical findings but these need to be correlated with pertinent diagnostic tests .

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

modeling

Explanation:

In the modeling technique “the therapist models the desired response / behavior”, ie he reinforces only the desired behaviors. Juan's therapist, through modeling, encourages Juan to start, or at least try, to open the door without wearing gloves, as this is a desired behavior for him to begin to lose his fear of germs.

Therapeutic modeling is the process by which a person learns behaviors by observing and imitating others. It is a very effective method of behavior change, since watching others is one of the main human ways of learning, assisting people who are exhibiting adaptive behavior teaches better coping strategies for people with inappropriate responses. Modeling is effective in overcoming fears and anxieties because it offers an opportunity to watch another person go through the anxiety-generating situation without injury.
