    Answer: e. It is a benign tumor.

    Explanation:

    The benign tumor is not a cancerous tumor. It is a mass of abnormally dividing cells. This means that it is not malignant in nature. It does not invade the nearby tissues of the body and does not spread from organs to organ. The benign tumor remain at the site of origin and sometimes does not cause profound impact on the body. This can be removed surgically.

    According to the given situation, if doctor identified that mass of dividing cells in the ovaries is a benign tumor then it is a good news as it can be removed surgically.
