C
Either A or B

None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A malignant tumor, however, is capable of both invading surrounding normal tissue and spreading throughout the body via the circulatory or lymphatic systems (metastasis). Only malignant tumors are properly referred to as cancers, and it is their ability to invade and metastasize that makes cancer so dangerous.

Detailed explanation-2: -When cancer spreads, it’s called metastasis. In metastasis, cancer cells break away from where they first formed, travel through the blood or lymph system, and form new tumors in other parts of the body. Cancer can spread to almost anywhere in the body. But it commonly moves into your bones, liver, or lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Malignant tumors are cancerous and can spread cancer cells throughout one’s body through the blood or lymphatic system, a process known as metastasis. Cancer that begins in bone is called primary bone cancer. Cancer that begins somewhere else in the body and spreads to the bone is known as secondary bone cancer.
