Question

what is the medical term for not recurring?
a. malignant
b. benign
c. aplasia
d. tumor

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "malignant" refers to cancerous cells that can spread and often recur.
• Option b: "benign" describes growths (like tumors) that are non - cancerous and do not recur.
• Option c: "aplasia" is related to the failure of tissue to develop, not about recurrence.
• Option d: "tumor" is a general term for an abnormal growth, and tumors can be benign or malignant, so it doesn't specifically mean non - recurring.

Answer:

b. benign
