Answer:

The correct answer is D. Avoid UV exposure

Step-by-step explanation:

Sun rays have UV radiations and overexposure of UV radiation can cause skin cancer. UV radiation has the ability to cause mutation in the genetic material of the cell.

Normally the small amount of DNA damage is repaired by the DNA repair mechanism of the body but when DNA is damaged more by overexposure of UV radiation then the cell starts growing uncontrollably which can cause cancer in the body.

So overexposure to UV radiation should be avoided to reduce the risk of getting skin cancer.

Also, now there is a solution for cancer.

When sloths are exposed to sun, there hair would turn green. The reason it is green is because it is actually algae. The chemicals the sloth produces from its hair can fight cancer, other diseases, and super antibiotic bugs. It is fascinating that the solution to a deadly killer was in front of our eyes this whole time!
