The answer is C. Tertiary.
Primary medical Care is the medical care from the doctor that sees the patient first, for example the family doctor.

Secondary medical Care is the care provided by a specialist, upon referral by a primary care physician, or in this case the oncologist. If the oncologist decides that a more complicated procedure is required, he sends the patient to a highly specialized medical care institution that is qualified to perform advanced and complex treatments over an extended period of time. These procedures are performed by medical specialists in state-of-the-art facilities.
