B. Metastasis. A carcinogen is an agent that causes the cancer (such as smoking with lung cancer). Responsiveness is in regards to how well a cancer would respond to a treatment, and reoccurence by what the definition of "occurence" is would likely refer to the cancer happening again. Based on process of elimination, B seems like it would be the most correct answer.
