Explanation
Choice A rationale: radiation therapy is one of the possible management options for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that uses high-energy rays to kill the cancerous cells.
Choice B rationale: this is incorrect since topical corticosteroids are ineffective in BCC management and may worsen the patient’s condition by suppressing their immune system.
Choice C rationale: micrographic surgery can be used in BCC management and it involves the removal of thin layers of skin to a point where no cancer cells can be detected.
Choice D rationale: this is appropriate and involves the use of electric current to burn off the cancer cells.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Adding these percentages together:
- Anterior trunk: 18%
- Perineum: 1%
- Left anterior arm: 4.5%
- Left posterior arm: 4.5%
Total = 18% + 1% + 4.5% + 4.5% = 28%
