Question

if you wanted to cut down your risk for developing cancer, it would be best if you avoided __________. a. certain types of exercise b. foods like fruits and vegetables c. tobacco products d. people with cancer please select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Explanation:

• Option A: Exercise generally reduces cancer risk (e.g., improves immune function, helps with weight management which is linked to cancer risk). So avoiding certain types of exercise is not beneficial for cutting - down cancer risk.
• Option B: Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients that can protect cells from damage and reduce cancer risk. Avoiding them is not a good idea.
• Option C: Tobacco products contain numerous carcinogens (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrosamines). Smoking or using tobacco is a major cause of lung, oral, and other cancers. Avoiding tobacco products is a key way to reduce cancer risk.
• Option D: Cancer is not contagious. People with cancer do not pose a risk of transmitting cancer to others. So avoiding them has no impact on one's own cancer - risk reduction.

Answer:

C. tobacco products
