I think the answer is D

Answer 2

The answer is D. The water reflects UV rays, adding to exposure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Being at sea, there is a direct exposure to sunlight. when the rays reach the marine surface, a mirror effect occurs, thus reflecting the sun, causing an increase in the intensity of the UV rays; also, that the sea breeze, being quite moist, helps moisturize the skin and generates a kind of freshness, distracting the person who is sailing, on the UV radiation that is receiving.
