Question

What is the best explanation for the recent increase in myopia (nearsightedness) among asian adolescents?

A. Excessive consumption of vitamin-rich foods.
B. Increased exposure to outdoor sunlight.
C. Genetic mutations specific to Asian populations.
D. Asian children are spending more time studying and doing schoolwork.

Answer 1

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Quizlet, D is the answer. To confirm, A doesn't make sense, that shouldn't hurt anyone. B also doesn't make sense, a little more Vitamin D would not hurt anyone. The mutation one must be wrong because a mutation specific to Asian people would have popped up a long time ago, not now with such a diverse global population experiencing many of the same things at the same times.
