Neoplasm refers to?

  1. Infection

  2. Inflammation

  3. Degeneration

  4. New growth

The correct answer is: New growth

Neoplasm refers to a new and abnormal growth of tissue that grows more rapidly than surrounding tissue. Option A is incorrect because neoplasms are not caused by infections. Option B is incorrect because inflammation involves redness, swelling, and pain, while neoplasms refer to an excessive and abnormal growth. Option C is incorrect because degeneration involves the deterioration of existing tissue, whereas neoplasms refer to the formation of new tissue. It is important to note that neoplasms can be benign or malignant, while inflammation, infections, and degeneration do not necessarily have this distinction.
