    C.

    A: iii; B: v; C: vi; D: i

    D.

    A: iv; B: v; C: i; D: ii

    Correct option is B

    Explanation-

    A- A tumor that has arisen from endodermal tissue  -   (ii) Carcinoma
    Tumors that arise from epithelial cells (endodermal or ectodermal origin) are called Carcinomas. These are the most common types of cancers (e.g., lung, colon, breast).

    B - Cancer cells arisen from hematopoietic stem cells that do not grow as solid tumor    -       (iv) Leukemia
    Cancers of blood or bone marrow origin, especially those that circulate in the blood and don’t form solid masses, are called Leukemias.
    Hematopoietic origin, non-solid = Leukemia

    C-  A permanent change in the genome of a cell that results in abnormal growth       -       (vi) Transformation 
    A genetic alteration that turns a normal cell into a cancerous one is known as Transformation. It's the fundamental step in carcinogenesis.

    D- A tumor that has arisen from mesodermal connective tissue           -        (iii) Sarcoma
    Tumors from connective tissue (like bone, muscle, fat, cartilage) are called Sarcomas.
    Mesodermal origin = Sarcoma

    So, the correct answer is option b - A: ii; B: iv; C: vi; D: iii
