Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between biopharmaceuticals and traditional pharmaceuticals is that they are not made by chemists in laboratories but by using bioreactors and living organisms. These organisms range from yeast or microbes all the way to mammalian cells. Biopharmaceuticals also called biologics are shedding new light on fighting cancer.
