Select the statement that correctly describes why human populations that moved north out of Africa developed lighter skin.
A) Lighter skin allows for more efficient folate production in the low-level UV light of the north,and vitamin D production is also increased in the low levels of UV light.
B) The low-level UV light of the north is absorbed more efficiently by lighter skin,preventing overproduction of vitamin D and allowing folate to be produced at sufficient levels.
C) Lighter skin allows absorption of the high-level UV light of the north for sufficient vitamin D production,and folate production,in turn,is enhanced in the presence of vitamin D.
D) Lighter skin protects humans from the high-level UV light of the north such that both vitamin D production is sufficient and folate levels are protected for normal cell function.
E) In the low-level UV light of the north,vitamin D production is insufficient with darker skin,and folate is not destroyed by the low levels of UV light,even with lighter skin.
