The right ovary has been converted to a 10 cm diameter brown cystic mass, filled with dark brown fluid. The internal surface is shaggy. Microscopic examination shows hemorrhage and hemosiderin deposits, and occasional endometrial glands and stroma. This lesion (A) contains nonfunctioning endometrium (B) probably originated from retrograde implantation of menstrual endometrium (C) is malignant (D) all of the above
