Answer: Include cancer and other DNA mutation

Step-by-step explanation:

Stochastic effects are the effects that occur by chance and which may occur without a threshold level of dose, whose probability is proportional to the dose and whose severity is independent of the dose. In the context of radiation protection, the main stochastic effect is cancer.

Therefore the best option is: include cancer and other DNA mutation
