Answer:

Option B, increased exposure to UV light increases the risk of a mutation occurring

Explanation:

Ultraviolet radiations (UV) coming from the sun are radioactive waves that affect the skin. They not only cause skin infection, irritation, but are are also potential source of cancer causing agent . Some times these radiations on prolonged exposure causes genetic mutations in the skin cells which continues though ages.

Ultraviolet rays are short wavelength radiations and the shorter is the wavelength of any radiation, the greater is the potential harm caused by it.

Hence, UV rays are harmful.

Petroleum and its products are mainly composed of carbon polymers (chains), as the backbone, with different structural and functional groups. Plastic, for example, is made of polypropylene and polybutylene which is mainly made of carbon atoms, whose monomers are linked in a chain to form polymers that make up the products.
Synthetic rubber on the other hand is made of copolymers of carbon and other addictives such as styrene. Synthetic fiber is made of nylon that is composed of a copolymer between carboxylic acid and amides.
