Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

People are concerned that excessive sun burn can lead to skin cancers such as melanoma or squamous cell cancers. People are encouraged to apply sunshine to block UV rays from penetrating their skin. They are also encouraged to cover their skin or stay out of the sun. Any of these measures will reduce the amount of UV light and will reduce the amount of Vitamin D that is made by the skin.
