Solution

The correct option is C Melanin
Albinism is a genetic defect of melanin production due to the mutation in the gene that encodes tyrosinase. This defect causes the production of little or no melanin, a natural pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes responsible for the colour.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
