The correct option is D European, Indian, African
Melanin is a pigment contained in the malpighian layer of the epidermis of the skin. It is responsible for skin colour/complexion. Greater the amount of melanin in the skin cells, darker would be the colour of the skin, and vice versa. Hence, among the individuals in the given group, the European would have least amount of melanin in the skin, followed by the Indian and finally, the African negro.
