    The correct answer is option D.

    Explanation:

    Radiation therapy does kill the malignant cells or slowdowns the growth of the cells by breaking or damaging the cell. It includes damaging the DNA of the cell.

    The damaged cells with such DNA can not replicate. Dead malignant cells can be removed by the body after killing them.

    Thus, the correct answer is option - D.
