The answer would be Avoid UV exposure because that could give you skin cancer.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Avoid UV exposure

Explanation:

Sun rays have UV radiations and overexposure of UV radiation can cause skin cancer. UV radiation has the ability to cause mutation in the genetic material of the cell.  

Normally the small amount of DNA damage is repaired by the DNA repair mechanism of the body but when DNA is damaged more by overexposure of UV radiation then the cell starts growing uncontrollably which can cause cancer in the body.

So overexposure to UV radiation should be avoided to reduce the risk of getting skin cancer.
