Any visible abnormal structural change in a bodily part.

• A. ANTINEOPLASTIC
• B. LESION
• C. ANURIA
• D. AVASCULAR

Answer: (B)

A lesion is the term for any visible abnormal structural change in a bodily tissue or part. It covers things you can see or image on examination or radiographs, such as scars, ulcers, tumors, blisters, or plaques. The key idea is that a lesion refers to an alteration in structure that stands out from normal tissue. The other words don’t fit this meaning. Antineoplastic describes drugs or therapies that fight tumor growth, not a structural change in tissue. Anuria is the absence of urine production, a functional/infectious issue rather than a visible tissue change. Avascular means lacking blood vessels, which is a description of blood supply rather than an observable tissue alteration.
