This argument provides that albinos, or people whose bodies do not produce melanin, are unusually susceptible to solar exposure. This suggests a connection between the production of melanin in humans and protection from sunburn and other sun-related ailments; we should look for a conclusion that draws this connection.
A)People born with albinism develop other biological protections against melanoma and other sun-related health issues. -Out of scope
B)Humans with a high production of melanin can easily ignore health issues related to exposure to the sun. - This conclusion is too extreme to be supported by the argument; nothing in the argument suggests that humans whose bodies produce high levels of
melanin can "easily ignore" sunburn or other sun-related health issues.
C)When a non-albino person gets sunburn, the amount of melanin produced by that person decreases. - Out of scope
D)In humans, melanin plays a role in protecting the skin from developing sunburn and other sun-related ailments. - Correct
The argument does strongly suggest that melanin plays some role in protecting the skin from developing sunburn and other sun-related ailments, since albinos do not produce melanin and are unusually susceptible to sun-related ailments.
E)It is not possible for a person born with albinism to adopt other artificial protective measures against excessive exposure to the sun. -Out of scope
