Question

which behavior is most likely to increase your chance of developing a cancer?
a. spending too many hours in the sun
b. eating too many vegetables
c. sleeping too much
d. taking vitamins

Explanation:

Spending too many hours in the sun exposes one to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation is a known carcinogen as it can damage DNA in skin cells. Over - time, this DNA damage can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, which is characteristic of cancer. Eating vegetables is generally healthy as they contain antioxidants and nutrients that may protect against cancer. Sleeping too much has not been directly linked to cancer causation. Taking vitamins (when not in excessive amounts) can support overall health and may have some cancer - preventive properties in some cases.

Answer:

A. spending too many hours in the sun
