Choice B rationale

Benign tumors do not spread into or invade nearby tissues. They may grow larger but do not spread to other parts of the body. Benign tumors can be serious if they press on vital structures such as blood vessels or nerves.

Choice C rationale

Benign tumors do not spread and invade nearby tissues. This statement is incorrect and contradicts the true nature of benign tumors.

Choice D rationale

There is a difference between benign and malignant tumors. Malignant tumors are cancerous and invade nearby tissues, whereas benign tumors do not.
