Hint:

\textbf{Pathology: Benign Tumors.} Remember the nomenclature for benign tumors, which typically involves adding the suffix "-oma" to the cell type of origin (e.g., lipoma from fat cells, leiomyoma from smooth muscle). Teratomas are unique due to their origin from totipotent cells and their diverse tissue composition.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Matching the tissue types with their corresponding benign tumors: (A) Skeletal muscle: Benign tumors of skeletal muscle are called rhabdomyomas (IV). (B) Smooth muscle: Benign tumors of smooth muscle are called leiomyomas (III). These are commonly found in the uterus (fibroids). (C) Totipotent cells: Totipotent cells, such as the zygote, have the ability to differentiate into all cell types of an organism, including extraembryonic tissues. Tumors arising from totipotent cells that contain tissues derived from all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) are called teratomas (II). (D) Adipose tissue: Benign tumors of adipose tissue (fat) are called lipomas (I). Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).
