Option by option

  • A. Sudden painless loss of vision

    Visual loss is unrelated to endometriosis.

  • B. Painless postmenopausal bleeding

    Postmenopausal bleeding has a malignancy-focused differential.

  • C. Cyclical pelvic pain with dysmenorrhoea (correct)

    Correct: cyclical pain reflects hormonally responsive ectopic tissue.
