Question

Which one of the following statements is correct?

A

Patients who have undergone surgery are given cannabinoids

B

Benign tumours show the property of metastasis

C

Heroin accelerates body functions

D

Malignant tumours may exhibit metastasis

Step-by-Step Solution

Why this is correct :

  • Metastasis = spread of cancer cells from the primary site to distant organs.
  • This is a defining characteristic of malignant tumours.
  • Benign tumours do NOT metastasize—they remain localized.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Patients who have undergone surgery are given cannabinoids → Not a standard or universal medical protocol.
  • Benign tumours show metastasis → Factually incorrect.
  • Heroin accelerates body functions → Incorrect; heroin is a CNS depressant, it slows body functions
