B
SCID
C
Hodgkins
D
Non Hodgkins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In myeloma, large amounts of a single antibody are noted as a “monoclonal immunoglobulin spike” or “monoclonal spike” (M spike), indicating that the protein came from cells that originally started as single, malignant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -A monoclonal spike (M spike or paraprotein) on serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) is a frequent finding in the general population and typically is pathognomonic of an asymptomatic, premalignant condition called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS).

Detailed explanation-3: -Increased gamma globulin proteins may indicate: Blood cancers, including multiple myeloma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, lymphomas, and chronic lymphocytic leukemias. Chronic inflammatory disease (for example, rheumatoid arthritis)
