Answer:

The correct options are A and C.

They absorb nutrients needed by other cells.

They prevent organs from functioning properly

Step-by-step explanation:

Cancer can be described as the rapid growth of abnormal cells which can cause tumours.

Recent researches have shown that cancer cells require high levels of energy for growth and development and they gain this energy by taking sugars and amino acids from the normal functioning cells. Hence, option A is correct.

As cancer cells destroy the other normal functioning cells of the body, they cause organs and systems to not function properly. Hence, option C is correct.
