Answer:

A) Radiation therapy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total laryngectomy surgery used to be the preferred treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer, however, radiation therapy is preferred because it allows the conservation of the organ's function.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
