The correct option is D All of the above
The exposure to the UV radiations have an ionizing and distorting effect to the body of the humans. It causes damage to the eyes by destroying the essentials of the eye-lens. The sunburn occurs due to high intensity. Skin cancer is caused due to distortion of the DNA by the formation of the pyrimidine dimers, such that the DNA cannot be replicated properly.
Hence, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
