It refers to cancer which forms as a result of an extremely high number of white blood cells. Lymphoma is the cancer of white blood cells. Prostate is a part of a man's reproductive system, so it doesn't have much to do with blood. Cervical cancer is the cancer of cervix, lower part of a uterus.

The correct answer is D. leukemia, which is a form of cancer affecting the tissues that produce blood, particularly characterized by an abnormal increase of white blood cells.
