According to the mismatch mechanism, which factor represents the 'Absorption Capacity' that protects skin from sun damage?

The thickness of the skin's epidermal layer

The concentration of melanin in the skin

The skin's ability to repair cellular damage

A person with a heritage from a low-UV region (e.g., Northern Europe) moves to a high-UV region (e.g., Australia). According to the mismatch mechanism, how does their skin cancer risk change?

The risk decreases because their body will quickly adapt by producing significantly more protective melanin over a short period.

The risk increases due to a mismatch between their naturally low melanin level and the high level of incoming UV energy.

The risk remains the same, as an individual's cancer risk is determined at birth and is not affected by location.

The risk becomes unpredictable and is no longer related to the principles of UV exposure or skin pigmentation.

A person with high melanin levels living in a region with high UV intensity.

A person with low melanin levels living in a region with low UV intensity.

A person with low melanin levels living in a region with high UV intensity.

A person with high melanin levels living in a region with low UV intensity.

Their risk becomes very low, as their protective capacity is much greater than the environmental energy.

Their risk remains high because their inherited melanin levels do not change.

Their risk increases significantly, as their skin is not adapted to the new climate, making it more vulnerable to damage.

Their risk becomes equal to the local low-melanin population immediately.
