To inhibit the growth of tumours, identify the compounds used from the following:
EDTA
Coordination Compounds of Pt
D – Penicillamine
Cis – Platin Choose the correct answer from the options given below: (1) B and D Only (2) C and D Only (3) A and B Only (4) A and C Only
Correct answer:D
Standard Method
Given: The question asks which compounds are used to inhibit the growth of tumours.
Find: The correct option.
From standard coordination chemistry applications, platinum coordination compounds are used as anti-tumour agents. Cis-platin is a well-known anti-cancer drug.
Therefore, the correct pair is B and D only.
The solution appears mismatched in its detailed explanation, but its header states that the correct option is D. Since the combined-answer list shows (1) B and D Only, the final correct choice is the option corresponding to that pair.
Answer Mapping
The first four entries are substances:
The second layer of answer choices on the page is:
Both chemistry knowledge and the answer key indicate B and D Only. Hence the correct numbered choice is (1).
Treating EDTA as an anti-tumour drug is incorrect because it is primarily used as a chelating agent. Focus on known medicinal applications of platinum complexes instead.
Confusing D – Penicillamine with anti-cancer compounds is incorrect because it is mainly used as a chelating agent in metal poisoning and related conditions. Do not group all coordination-related compounds as anti-tumour agents.
