[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ Adenoma}}[/tex]

Explanation:

First, let's "dissect" each word. We know that aden- means gland.

Adenopathy

  • Aden- : gland
  • -pathy: disease
  • Definition: disease of the glands

Adenectomy

  • Aden: -gland
  • -ectomy: removal
  • Definition: surgical removal of a gland

Adenoma

  • Aden: gland
  • -oma: tumor
  • Definition: gland tumor

So, based on the definitions we created above, the correct answer must be adenoma, because -oma means tumor.
