Solution
The correct option is D Skin cancer
Direct exposure of harmful UV rays that penetrates skin can damage the genetic material I.e., DNA in skin cells and if the body is unable to recover the damage the cells start to divide and grow uncontrollably which eventually leads to a tumour or cancer. The damage to the DNA includes the formation of the pyrimidine dimers, point mutations, breaking off bonds etc. As the skin is directly exposed to the UV rays, it is worst affected.Hence, the correct answer is 'Skin Cancer'.
