Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
"Ca in situ" stands for carcinoma in situ, which means that the tumor has undergone malignant changes but is still limited to the origination site. "Primary" refers to the original site of the tumor, whether benign or malignant. "Secondary" refers to metastatic tumors that have spread from the primary site to other locations in the body. "Generalized" is a broad term that does not specifically refer to tumors or cancer.
