The answer is the second one: the patient.

Explanation for each option:

  1. An animal: This option is incorrect. Transplants from animals are referred to as xenotransplants, which are not applicable in the context of bone marrow transplantation.

  2. The patient: This option is correct. An autologous bone marrow transplantation involves using the patient's own bone marrow or stem cells. The cells are collected, stored, and then reinfused after intensive treatment.

  3. Another person: This option is incorrect for an autologous transplant. Transplants from another person are known as allogeneic transplants, where the donor is a different individual.

  4. A twin or sibling: This option is incorrect for an autologous transplant. While a twin or sibling can be a donor in allogeneic transplants, an autologous transplant specifically uses the patient's own cells.

In summary, an autologous bone marrow transplantation involves using the patient's own cells, making the second option the correct choice.
