D. has little or no urinary output. All of the following are directly involved in the development of cancer EXCEPT: A. mutations in the genes that control cell division. B. chronic inflammation. C. bacterial infection. D. exposure to carcinogens. Obese women have a higher risk of breast cancer than lean women because: A. excess adipose tissue raises levels of estrogen in the body. B. obese women eat high-fat diets. C. lean women exercise more. D. lean women have higher estrogen levels after menopause. Nutrition-related factors that may increase the risk of developing cancer include all of the following EXCEPT: A. obesity. B. red meat intake. C. salt-preserved foods.

16. Option D
Since erythropoietin is involved in production of RBC's, therefore if its lacking in our body, it will cause anemia.
17. Option A
Presence of kidney stones can cause pain in the patients, which is called as renal colic. That's why other options are incorrect, option A - is passing a kidney stone, is correct.
18. Option C.
Cancer is caused by mutations in the genes of the cells of a particular tissue or organ. Most of the genes affected in cancer belong to regulators of cell cycle, therefore option A is correct. Likewise, carcinogens can also mutation in our genes, and lead to cancer. Bacterial infections are not causing any type of cancer, because they don't affect our genes.
19. Option B
There has been a research on this, that high fat intake can lead to cancer. Therefore obese women have more chances of breast as well as ovarian cancer.
20. Option D
Citrus fruits contain anti-oxidants, which prevent the cells from becoming cancerous. Therefore its a false statement.
