A
the cell cycle
B
red blood cell formation
C
DNA replication
D
ATP synthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cancer is the result of unchecked cell division caused by a breakdown of the mechanisms that regulate the cell cycle. The loss of control begins with a change in the DNA sequence of a gene that codes for one of the regulatory molecules. Faulty instructions lead to a protein that does not function as it should.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA Synthesis (S phase) In many cancer cells the number of chromosomes is altered so that there are either too many or too few chromosomes in the cells. These cells are said to be aneuploid. Errors may occur during the DNA replication resulting in mutations and possibly the development of cancer.
