Question

Welll, in my experience, the correct answer should be A. Patients do not receive harmful or ineffective medication. All cancers are different so they can't all be treated the same way and one tissue does not represent the entire body. Cancer treatments are usually hard and aggressive so it's not a good thing to randomly test them on humans This is the reasoning behind this choice.
