The answer is: Aging Family history Using tobacco

Explanation for each option:

  1. Being very thin: This is not typically considered a direct risk factor for cancer. While extreme thinness can be a symptom of certain cancers or other health conditions, it is not a recognized risk factor for developing cancer.

  2. Aging: Correct. Aging is a significant risk factor for cancer. The risk of developing cancer increases as a person gets older due to the accumulation of genetic mutations over time and the body's decreased ability to repair damaged DNA.

  3. Family history: Correct. A family history of cancer can increase an individual's risk of developing the disease. This is because certain genetic mutations that predispose individuals to cancer can be inherited.

  4. Using tobacco: Correct. Tobacco use is one of the most well-known and significant risk factors for cancer, particularly lung cancer, but it is also linked to many other types of cancer, including mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreas, bladder, and kidney cancers.

Summary: The risk factors for cancer among the given options are aging, family history, and using tobacco.
