The correct answers are option a. The greater the undifferentiated cell count, the more aggressive the cancer and b. Malignant tumors have the potential to kill the host.

Explanation:

Anaplasia is a medical term used to describe a condition of cells with poor cellular differentiation. It is known that the great the anaplasia, the more aggresive is the cancer. The tumors that have this characteristic are known as anaplastic carcinoma. This malignant tumors have the potential to kill the host when they metastasize to other organs.
