Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
UV radiation exposure is linked to several skin conditions. Melanoma and Carcinoma are types of skin cancer caused by UV damage to DNA. Erythema is the medical term for sunburn, a direct result of UV exposure. Teratoma, however, is a germ cell tumor that arises from developmental anomalies and is not caused by UV radiation. Therefore, Teratoma is the condition not caused by exposure to UV rays.
