Answer 1

A is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is A. When a potent drug is discovered, it has to undergo animal and human trials to test it ADMET (Absorption, Distribution Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) properties. Using tissue cultures to test drugs, such as cancer drugs, prevents the incidence of subjecting humans to the unknown adverse effects of the drugs before the drugs are determined to be safe for use.
