Answer to Problem 8A
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (b) a tan might indicate the sun damage to the skin.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (b) Tanning is the burning of skin that may even cause skin cancer in several cases. Tanning is harmful as the dangerous ultraviolet rays pierce the skin and start messing with the DNA. To get rid of them one needs to properly protect the skin from UV rays.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) sunning for the purpose of tanning doesn’t produce healthier skin at all instead it damages the skin.
Option (c) tanning doesn’t strengthen the elastic in the skin making the skin feel tight as it even worsens the quality of the skin by burning it.
Option (d) tanning doesn’t promote skin that has a more youthful appearance as for looking young your skin needs more moisture but tanning removes the moisture.
Tanning refers to the burning of the skin that changes the color of the skin as it gets exposed to the UV rays coming from the sun. It isn’t healthy for the skin.
