उत्तर

Cancer causing agents are called carcinogens.

Explanation:

These are substances or factors that can cause changes or damage to the DNA in cells, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and the formation of tumors. Carcinogens include chemicals like tobacco smoke, asbestos, certain oils, and industrial chemicals, as well as some viruses and radiation. They act by altering the genetic material in cells or causing chronic irritation, which can ultimately result in cancer development.
