Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Metastasis is the process of transference of cancerous cells from the site of origin to distant parts of the body.
Such tumours are very serious and cause the death of the patient due to increasing interference with the metabolic functions of the body and killing of more and more normal cells.
