Correct Answer
A. CytologyExplanation
Cytology is the study of cells, including their structure, function, and characteristics. It involves examining cells under a microscope to understand their behavior and identify any abnormalities. This field is particularly important in diagnosing diseases, as it allows for the analysis of cells from various tissues and fluids to determine if they are normal or cancerous. Cytology also plays a role in prognosis, as it can provide information about the stage and progression of a disease. Unlike radiology, which focuses on imaging techniques, cytology specifically deals with the study of cells.Rate this question:

The term "symmetry" refers to the state of "measurement together" or the equality of parts in a given object or system. It suggests a balance and harmony in the arrangement of elements, where one side mirrors the other. In the context of the provided options, "symmetry" is the most suitable term that encompasses the concept of mirror images and equality of parts. Conjoined twins, on the other hand, represent a state of being physically connected or joined together, which is not directly related to symmetry.
