Explanation:

To determine the client with an increased risk for malignant melanoma, we analyze each option:

• A client with brown eyes: Eye color alone isn't a major risk factor for malignant melanoma.
• A client with a light complexion: People with light skin (low melanin) have less natural protection from UV radiation, increasing the risk of skin cancers like malignant melanoma.
• A client with black hair: Hair color isn't a primary risk factor for malignant melanoma.
• A client who is 20 years of age: Malignant melanoma risk increases with age, and 20 is relatively young; age alone here isn't an indicator of increased risk compared to light complexion.

Answer:

B. A client who has a light complexion
