Solution:
Correct option : D
A hysterectomy is major operation to remove a woman’s uterus. It is carried out to treat various problems associated with periods, pelvic pain, tumors and other related conditions. A complete or total hysterectomy removes the uterus, including the cervix. A partial or subtotal hysterectomy only removes the upper part of the uterus and leaves the cervix and other organs in place. A radical hysterectomy removes the uterus, the cervix, the upper part of the vagina, supporting tissues and usually the pelvic lymph nodes. This operation is usually performed to treat cancer.
