The answer is A, B, D. Anaplasia is a complete loss of resemblance to tissue of origin and is a feature of malignant tumours.

Differentiation is the degree of resemblance of a tumour to its tissue of origin: well differentiated tumours closely resemble their tissue of origin, poorly differentiated tumours show little resemblance.

Dysplasia is a partial loss of resemblance to tissue of origin and is a feature of many pre-malignant conditions and of some benign tumours.

There is no specific term for the rate of growth of tumour tissue (C): the mitotic rate of a tumour gives some idea of tumour growth.

The tissue of origin (E) is known as the histogenesis.
