Answer:

b. response to the environment

Step-by-step explanation:

The ozone layer filters out most of the sun's harmful UV( ultraviolent) radiation. But when various environmental stresses and other human anthropogenic factors occurs, depletion of the ozone layer sets in and excessive production of Ultraviolent light emerges as well. Exposure to these ultraviolent light have the tendency and capability of causing damage to the skin cells which in turn cause wrinkles and darkening to the skin, damage to the melanin or sometimes skin cancer.
