Well the most appropriate answer is C, the skin layer is a layer of cells. These layers are constantly subject to the UV spectrum in which causes DNA thimer dimerisation to occur. This leads to DNA damage and thus cancer.

I guess D makes sense in that some chemicals cannot be absorbed (charged chemicals)
