The answer is A, B, E. This occurs in middle-aged males, and is often bilateral, it is entirely benign. This is the second commonest parotid tumour.

Pleomorphic salivary adenomas are benign, but tend to extend through their capsule so that complete resection is not possible.

Intraoral squamous carcinoma has a worsening prognosis the further back in the oropharynx it is situated. Sjogren's disease (D) is an autoimmune disease of the salivary tissue; a malignant lymphoma may arise within the salivary gland in this condition. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the commonest malignant salivary gland tumour (C).
