Answer 1

A, C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cervical cancer screenings can detect abnormal cells or "precancerous cells" that might become cancerous cells. These cells can then be removed.

Cervical cancer symptoms are not always obvious and might be assumed to be normal. Therefore, regular screening ensures that there are no cancerous or pre cancerous cells present, even in the absence of symptoms.

Regular screenings increase the chance of detecting cervical cancer at an earlier stage. The earlier the disease is caught, the better options there are for treatment

Cervical cancer screenings do not guarantee a longer life, as they only screen for one health problem.
