Answer 1

The correct answer is: Melanomas account for most skin-cancer deaths.Explanation: Malignant melanomas are a type of skin cancer that can be deadly if not detected and treated early. While they are not the most common type of skin cancer, they are responsible for the majority of skin cancer-related deaths due to their aggressive nature and tendency to spread to other parts of the body. Melanomas can develop from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. However, it is not accurate to say that they are caused exclusively by sunlight and not tanning beds. Additionally, malignant melanomas are known for their rapid growth and spread, which is why early detection and treatment are crucial.
