Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sunbathing while on vacation in the Caribbean would trigger the production of melanin as it involves exposure to UV rays from the sun. Melanin is produced to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. The other activities listed do not involve significant exposure to UV rays and therefore would not trigger the production of melanin.
