Correct answer: D). They take nutrients needed by healthy cells, and as they grow they interfere with the function of normal cells and organs.

Cancer is uncontrolled growth of the cell in the body. The Old cell does not die and instead of that, they have grown out of control, which results in the formation of new abnormal cells. These may form a mass of tissue called a tumor.
