B.The genes for melanin pigmentation remain turned off and synthesize more melanin than usual to protect the skin from photo-damage when itexposed to sunlight for a long time.

C.The genes for melanin pigmentation are switched off to stop the synthesis of melanin to protect the skin from photo-damage when it is exposed to sunlight for a long time.

Answer 1

The answer would be 'A.The genes for melanin pigmentation remain turned on and prepare more melanin than usual to protect the skin from photo-damage when it is exposed to sunlight for long time.'

Answer 2

I think it would be the first one:
The genes for melanin pigmentation remain turned on and prepare more melaninthan usual to protect the skin from photo-damage when exposed to sunlight for long time.

I could be wrong, i had a similar question in the 8th grade, I can't remember.
