Answer. D). A 65- year old woman

Step-by-step explanation:

Advancing age is the most important risk factor for cancer overall, and for many individual cancer types. The median age for most different types of cancer is 65 66 years. For example, the median age at diagnosis is 61 years for breast cancer, 68 years for colorectal cancer, 70 years for lung cancer, and 66 years for prostate cancer. But the disease can occur at any age. I hope this is clear to you. I just tried to simplify it for a better understanding
