The correct answer is A and C only

Explanation:

  • Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detect cancers of internal organs (A): CT and MRI are advanced imaging technologies used to visualize internal structures of the body. They are highly effective in detecting tumors and abnormalities within internal organs.
  • α-interferon activates the cancer patients’ immune system and helps in destroying the tumor (C): α-interferon is a type of cytokine that boosts the immune system, enabling it to better target and destroy cancer cells.

Incorrect statements:

  • Chemotherapeutic drugs are used to kill non-cancerous cells): Incorrect because chemotherapeutic drugs are designed to target and kill rapidly dividing cancer cells, although they can sometimes affect non-cancerous cells as well.
  • Chemotherapeutic drugs are biological response modifiers: Incorrect because biological response modifiers are different types of therapies like α-interferon, used to enhance the body's immune response, not chemotherapeutic drugs.
  • In the case of leukemia, blood cell counts are decreased: Incorrect because in leukemia, there is generally an abnormal increase in white blood cell counts, not a decrease.
