Answer:

Option A, ovarian cancer

Step-by-step explanation:

Ultimately, this question is asking which of these conditions can only patients who are assigned female at birth (AFAB) experience and seek treatment for, and with the answer options, which of these choices matches the anatomy of an AFAB patient.

Prostates, testicles, and penile foreskin (indicated by prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and balanitis, respectively) are exclusively features of patients that are assigned male at birth (AMAB). AFAB patients do, however, have ovaries, which are not characteristic of AMAB patients -- the sex hormones of AMAB patients are instead produced in the testes.

Thus, ovarian cancer is a female health concern, option A.
