What are malignant growths?

  1. Benign skin conditions

  2. Cancerous growths

  3. Caused by actinic keratosis

  4. Symmetrical and skin colored

The correct answer is: Cancerous growths

Malignant growths are types of cancerous, or abnormal cell growths, that are not normal or desired for human health. Therefore, the options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not fit the definition of malignant growths. Benign skin conditions, such as acne or eczema, are not cancerous and do not involve abnormal cell growth. Actinic keratosis, on the other hand, is a pre-cancerous growth that can potentially develop into a malignant growth, but it is not a direct cause of malignant growths. Lastly, malignant growths are not necessarily symmetrical and can vary in color, so option D is also incorrect.
