Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A reason: While being fair-skinned and older increases risk, exposure to UV radiation is a significant factor.

Choice B reason:

The correct answer is b) because a fair-skinned client who works outdoors (construction worker) has higher exposure to UV radiation, increasing the risk of skin cancer.

Choice C reason: Having a family history of skin cancer is a risk factor, but dark-skinned individuals have lower risk compared to fair-skinned individuals with high UV exposure.

Choice D reason: Tanning bed use increases risk, but fair-skinned individuals with prolonged UV exposure have a higher overall risk.
