Which one is not a branch of Cytopathology?
Answer: B
The one that is not a branch of cytopathology is biopsy.
Cytopathology studies individual cells or small clusters of cells, not intact tissue. Its branches are named by how the cells are collected: exfoliative cytology uses cells shed naturally into fluids such as urine or sputum, abrasive cytology uses cells scraped or brushed from a surface, as in a Pap smear, and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) draws cells out of a lump through a thin needle.
A biopsy removes a piece of tissue with its architecture intact, which is then processed and sectioned. That is the material of histopathology, not cytopathology.
