Answer 1

Answer:

D) In humans, melanin plays a role in protecting the skin from developing sunburn and other sun-related ailments.

Explanation:

From the statement given that is the best option, you can infer. The ones that talk about the protection of people with albinism are not correct because the statement is not referring to that topic.

While option B that states that humans with melanin can ignore health issues related to exposure to the sun is wrong. Because in the last part of the statement it says that the ailments stated are related to excessive exposure to the sun. People with albinism are very susceptible but that not infer that people with melanin are not capable of catching those problems. They only have more protection because of the melanin.

I hope this answer helps you.
