Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, her sexual behavior and smoking.

Explanation:

In the given case, sexual behavior and smoking are the controllable risk elements for the woman. She has no control over her age, the number of sex partners she has had in the past, or her heredity. So she can now just try to minimize her risk of developing cancers by becoming more sensible when it comes to sex and should always make sure that is safe, and at the same time should either quit or reduce smoking.
