Ans:
C

Feedback:

The etiology of cancer of the colon and rectum remains largely unidentified, though dietary factors are thought to exist. The prognosis, especially with stage III tumors, is poor. Simple and accurate screening tests do exist for colorectal cancer, while drugs are not implicated in the etiology.
